Script arguments from console?

Hi, I have a script which can be called with command line arguments. I'm accessing the arguments throuh system/options/args. This works fine if the script is called from a shell but fails if I start my script from the Rebol console with

>> do ... argument

help do USAGE: DO value /args arg /next DESCRIPTION: Evaluates a block, file, URL, function, word, or any other value. DO is a native value. ARGUMENTS: value -- Normally a file name, URL, or block (Type: any) REFINEMENTS: /args -- If value is a script, this will set its system/script/args arg -- Args passed to a script. Normally a string. (Type: any) /next -- Do next expression only. Return block with result and new position.

Dear Robert I ALWAYS take the arguments from system/script/args in my shell invoked scripts.. (I didn't know about system/options/args... I promess to check it ;-) )

Hey Robert, they are two different animals. Script/args are loaded rebol code, wherareas command line args are just strings. It would'nt make much sense to force the loading of command line args, since some of those may not necessarilly make sense to rebol when loaded. Forcing script args to strings would work, but you must keep in mind the args come from two entirely different worlds, both of which have entirely different ways and standards of communicating. Actually, I hardly see a use for 'do/args, but I would be willing to bet that Carl has some grandiose plan for its use not yet quite appearent to us. --Ryan Robert M. Muench wrote:
