- I know we all have our pet peeves about ReadArgs (remember that thread?).
- I'm hoping on getting some discussion on this particular enhancement
- request (before going to suggs@cbmvax) w/o degenerating to "I wish it
- supported - options instead", which was rather well discussed a bit ago :)
-
- Okay, so here is what I was hoping to do with ReadArgs:
-
- Read the argument string (or the WB tooltypes) into a string. Pass this
- string into ReadArgs. -If- this string ends up being a "?", then prompt
- and wait for input on StdIn. Currently, it prompts, but does not actually
- wait for additional input.
-
- What's even worse is that "run program ?" ends up pompting and not
- waiting for input either....
-
- Is there good reason for this behaviour, or are these two requests
- reasonable?
