Command Line Revisited

In the windows 2k environment, I am seeing some interesting quirks from the command line. For these examples, I'm leaving pathnames off, though the effect is the same either way. If I enter the following: rebol --secure allow -w -q -s script.r c:\filename.txt I can see the filename in system/script/args with no problem. However, if I place a do %script.r in my user.r file, and call it with: rebol --secure allow -w -q c:\filename.txt I get 'none' in my system/script/args var. Also, if I use the -- delimiter which should indicate anything else is passed to rebol as an argument as in: rebol --secure allow -w -q -s script.r -- c:\filename.txt rebol --secure allow -w -q -- c:\filename.txt I get 'none' as well. Any thoughts as to why the variations? One final question. Is there any way to set an environmental var (i.e. ERRORLEVEL) upon exiting? Thanks --- G. Edw.

Hi G, << I can see the filename in system/script/args with no problem.

There was a discussion about this a short time ago I believe. --Gregg

Yep, that was it...as I understand it now, if I pass a script name, the variables from the command line are associated with that script, but if there is no script name, or if the -- delimiter is used, they end up under system/options. Cool, I can deal with that. What do I need to get to find the documentation on all these little gotchas?

Hi Gary, << What do I need to get to find the documentation on all these little gotchas? >> Watch this ML. :) There are people putting together more and more bits of documentation to help fill in the blanks. If you poke around the reb-sites from the View desktop, you can find all kinds of how-tos and helpful hints and FAQs. The REBOL Forces site is a good resource also. --Gregg
