Urks. That would totally break Unix semantics. Options are options.
Make that  $ fgfs T38

I've always thought that it would be nice if fgfs would accept one
optional argument that would start it in a "situation". For example,
one could make a file ~/.fgfs/situation/rescue that contains definitions
to start with a bo105 (parked on a hospital helipad; doors open;
engines off) or ~/.fgfs/situation/carrier etc. This would then be
started as $ fgfs carrier.
   OTOH, one could easily do this with a wrapper ... OK, I convinced
myself and I'll implement this in my fgfs starter script *now* ...  :-)
