Hi Andreas,
I guess this file was created by yourself; at least I haven’t heard of
it before.
Hmmm... could be.

Anyway, I just did it, though it became a `basexgui.js`.

It's modelled after `basexgui.bat`, with the difference, that it could
accept additional, user provided, command line args. Not sure, whether
that makes sense, but I added it, since it was free ;-)

It needs to be installed into `BaseX\bin\`, along with the other launchers.
It's Public Domain, CC0, or MIT. Feel free to incorporate it, distribute
it, etc.

```javascript

/* basexgui.js 0.1.0

  Simple starter for BaseX GUI. In contrary to the batch script
`basexgui.bat`
  this will not open a console window and (untested) accept additional
arguments.
