Override options file entry from command line - how?

[Howard Orgel]

My first question to this august forum:

How can I override an entry in .get_iplayer\options without editing
the file?

.get_iplayer\options contains the entry 

tvmode flashhigh

which is fine for my regular downloads, but occasionally I want to
download a programme in HD.  Adding

--tvmode=flashhd

to the command line does not override .get_iplayer\options.

I'm using Get iPlayer v2.86 on a Windows system.
