Assuming you have a directory with OpenGEM or GEM, look for something like GEM.EXE. If it has optional parameters, try something like GEM /? or GEM /help. You can browse this website for more info which doesn't have much, but maybe you can search for an opengem / freegem forum or email one of the guys at the web site.
