This is an aside comment! And is not meant to be inflammatory in any way.

Linux command line terminology is that a command has "options" and 
"arguments". Options are indicated by a flag e.g. -p (which can have a 
value attached e.g. -pH. Arguments are the things parsed after all 
options have been processed eg cp FileA ~/FileB.
  The gambas command line parser "gb.args" handles them according to 
this convention.
Please guys it makes it hard to understand exactly what you mean if you 
mix these terms up.
