 Well, the -h argument is used by the engine, so that's just wrong. 
 However...
 Not only is this *not* just leftover cruft, but I have applications 
 that *rely* on passing and parsing commandline arguments.
 Type

 livecode.x86 -h

 at a terminal prompt for the current list of arguments the engine will 
 use. Any others should pass through verbatim.

 What I do for faceless apps is invoke a startup handler that ensures 
 invisibility. I don't know if the -ui argument is still valid (even 
 though it shows up in the list), as it throws an error if used by 
 itself.

 on startup
   set the visible of this stack to false
 end startup
