Christian, That limitation was fixed ages ago, spaces in commands such as:
./pymol -d 'help selections' should work fine with any recent unix-based PyMOL build, open-source or commercial.

The command "help launch" tells me, that the launch parameter -d <string> starts the command (written in the string) after the start of pymol. This works well, if I just send a string of one word (e.g. "help"), but if I try to send more than one word (e.g. "help selections") pymol executes the command "help" and then tries to open a file named "selections". I tried using apostrophes in the shell, but I did not find a solution. Is there any possibility to start pymol with a string which contains whitespaces (e.g. $ pymol -d "help selections")?
