yes and no:
yes: `?' is a wild card, I didn't think of it.
no, I don't like the `-s' and `-i' idea, it makes parsing parameters that bit
more complicated that we don't need on ELKS.
shall I substitute the `?' with a `a' (for Ask)?  and thus `aa'.  it makes the
code a bit easier, I believe.

thanks for the suggestions/comments.

Mario.
