Windows 2012, TSM & TDP 6.4.1

Our DBA's do a fair amount of cross-server restores here.  Since I cant depend 
on them editing the dsm.opt file (tried that before, ended up with a bunch of 
backups in the wrong place because they forgot to change it back), I came up 
with a little pre-launch script that allows them to pick a SQL node from our 
inventory to restore from, then builds a temp opt file using that node name, 
and launches the tdp gui using that opt file.

However, now that 6.4.1 has killed off the tdp gui in favor of the mmc, I 
haven't been able to figure out how to achieve the same results.  Can someone 
tell me how to launch the mmc using an alternate opt file?

Thanks,
