I have some problems with parameter transmission to gulam shell
scripts. First, after reading $* *once* (e. g. echo "$*") it
appears to be *empty*. So if you want to use it several times
you have to copy it to some more "resistant" gulam variable (e.
g. set param "$*").

Ok, I can live with that. But now comes the real problem: I
want to give some options beginning with a minus sign '-' to a
gulam script like

	script -a -b <files>

What happens is that only a crippled parameter string is
transferred to the script: *no* minus-options and not all
<files>. If the minus-options are omitted everything works just
fine. Try the following script:

set param "$*"
echo "$param"
echo "$*"
foreach i { $param }
	echo $i
endfor

I have already tried things like
	script '-a' '-b' file1 file2
	script '-a -b file1 file2'
but nothing works. Any ideas?

	Thanks in advance
