     The manual is very obtuse on this subject, so I'll ask:

     Does shell plus accept command line parameters into work
variables in some fashion?  I've already tried simply accessing %0
within the script in hopes that it would hold the first passed
parameter.  It didn't.  Is there some way to do this?

     For those of you who aren't sure what I mean, it's this... In
DOS (yes, sorry, that _is_ DOS), the following is true:

    Suppose "hello.bat" contains:
  echo %1 %2 %3 <eof>

    Then, the following would happen:
  C:/> hello.bat parm1 parm2 parm3 parm1 parm2 parm3

      As you can see, echo would return the three passed command line
parameters.  Is there a way for shell+ to do something analagous to
this?
