I'll chime in on the side of providing the command string exactly as it
appears if it is to be given as a string. If I have to parse it myself, I
want the entire thing to work with.

I can use braces and escape quotes to make it work, but that is a bit of a
kludge.

Hi,
After coding on the C64 and before hitting the bed I'll write quickly...

Well, that seems then to be the best approach, it won't even break
existing scripts.
To get the arguments in a block has definately it's uses. And there is
no idea giving arguments in some rebol-specific way, as you suggested
earlier.
About doable arguments, you said (I already clipped that part away,
sorry) that it is inefficient, maybe so but the args are parsed only
once and starting rebol takes it's time anyway...
For what kind of things 'lot's of people' use doable command-line
arguments? (I'm just being curious :)
yours,
Jussi
