Punctuation. Use it.

Go into your Arma 2 Folder. That path is either C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 for the Steam version or C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Arma 2 for the retail version. Create a new folder and name that @<hidden> (you can name it whatever you want), then inside your newly created folder, make an folder named Addons. Put your .pbo files and .bisign files into it. Now, go to your desktop shortcut and right click it and press Properties. Click on the Shortcut tab and then type at the end of the target box, "-mod=@<hidden>" without quotation marks. It should look like this, "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2" -mod=@<hidden>". If you want to add more mods, just add a semicolon and then type your new mod folder name after that. Like this, "-mod=@<hidden>;@<hidden>"

Hmmm....I'm not certain that the ArmA1 Avgani map works in ArmA2 yet. If there has been a port over, I'd like the link.
