Naw. Be patient. These things are still evolving. Under
windows and mac we have drag and drop support for scripts,
and we arrange associations so you can start a script by
double clicking on it. Similarly, we should expect REBOL in
unix environments to follow suit with the way other
applications fit in. It was my own concern with improving
the way REBOL operates from the command line that set me off
on exploring this issue to begin with. As a result, I've
gotten a lot of good feedback from people (thanks) and the
info is being formulated into improved arg handling which
(hopefully) will meet all our needs and make us all happy.
Cheers--
