Well spotted. Certainly the -line should only apply to the following file.
-iconic already has -noiconic (not sure whether it behaves as you suggest).
Then there's -wrap, -nowrap (same comment). -group could perhaps have a
-nogroup too, to stop grouping on following files. Otherwise the other options
listed by nedit -h are probably fine as they are. Some seem to apply to all
(-display, -import), others to the following files (-rows, -geometry). I'd
have to experiment to work out each one's behaviour. I also think we should
try to avoid other -no... options unless they really make sense.

That's my quick reply anyway...
