me.
Terry, it does look like I could write to the temporary folder, but I read that
that folder may get cleared on restart. However, the Users/Shared folder seems

Or it could mean that LC has had a corrupted resource header in that file for a

Richard,
GetOpt looks exactly like what I want.
The docs specify on startup is only sent when the application is opened. This
won’t work for me as I want to catch command line parameters ongoing while my
application stays open.

Ah, much simpler problem.
macOS is a certified Unix. It works just like Linux.

Is it possible you're running LC in a user account that doesn't have
