To do this, you'd have to pass to a magic routine the format for each arguments (how many parameters and where those arguments get stored) as well as dealing with associating short arguments in there. Much less the --debugSet, which has as one of its arguments the parameter where the other gets stored. It's all (pretty simple) custom code for handling each parameter seperately. I wish I was able to push this kind of parameter handling into Params (even though it's probably going to be replaced by EParams soon). It's just that interfacing is going to be the biggest pain. Maybe once we get automatic decription text for each parameter (so that the usage is generated automatically), I'll get involved in that to integrate the command-line stuff in that. But for now, it's not going to be reasonable. Thelema -- E-mail: thelema314 at bigfoot.com If you love something, set it free.
