command line examples

[Todd Geist]

The current user guide does have the following section on page 146

*Command-line argument variables*

If you start up the application from a command line, the command name is
stored in the variable $0 and any arguments passed on the command line are
stored in numbered variables starting with the *$ *character.

For example, if you start the application by typing the following shell
command:

myrevapp -h name then the variable $0 contains "myrevapp" (the name of the
application), $1 contains

"-h", and $2 contains "name".


*Note: *Command-line argument variables behave like global variables and can
be used

in any handler. However, you do not need to use the *global *command to
declare them

before using them.


Is this just left over cruft?
