In the Target box it says:

"The Shadow of the Templars\sword1.ini" sword1" so am I supposed to type 
"Scumm\M|scummvm.exe -d|sword.ini  in there. And where exactly am I supposed 
to type -d0 -b4? you say before sword 1. do you mean after -d ? its getting 
too complicated and I am not sure this will work.

It doesn't match what you said above.  BTW, I installed it in D directory. 
my root drive is D - its a long story why it is D,  but it works ok for now 
till I do some changes on my hard drive. It would have nothing to do with my 
problem with BS. I have several games on D drive and they all work fine.

In the "Start in" box it says :

"D:\Program Files\GOG.com\Broken Sword - The Shadow of the 
Templars\ScummVM\"
