I would definitely grant that limitation. I'm just not a big fan of command-line parameters, for the most part.. I'll admit, when I double-clicked the file I'd been working on to test my point, it was a rare event. I'm usually running from the prompt in order to get my debugging info. Bear in mind that that information is not significant to my user. I only get output to STDOUT when something is going wrong. > Similarly, Unix uses a command-line interface with bolt-on > graphics capability.
