-=> Quoting Peter Hansen to Byron Desnoyers on Passing Arguments to a RE <=-

 PH> In a message on 06-25-95, Byron Desnoyers said to All:

 PH> Use 'parse arg' instead of 'arg'.  The online documentation ("help
 PH> rexx arg") would have pointed out to you that 'arg' is equivalent to
 PH> 'parse upper arg' ...

Thank-You.

It seems to work fine now.  I guess you miss a lot when you use the online
documentation for refrence.  As it was, I had to examine other REXX
programs to find out how to grab the command line arguments.  Personally I
prefer C++, but why use it when a three line REXX file will do.
