Yes, this is a good idea. Terangreal could use the same mechanism (it already stores preferences in properties but does not save them).

I think we can expand the feature for multiple command line arguments easily. This is a very useful feature of vosapp, since it takes care of one of the most annoying aspects of making a command line app. For environment variables, you just need to parse the value of the variable: VOSAPP_COD_FILES="file1.cod file2.cod \"file 3.cod\" file\ 4.cod" or do something like this: VOSAPP_COD_FILE_1="file1.cod" VOSAPP_COD_FILE_2="file2.cod" ...
