Hi Kevin, Sorry I haven't explained this too well. What I want to do is, from the REPL, run a program that has a function with @add_arg_table. But initially it was spitting out the error I had in my first post, even though I wasn't explicitly calling that function.
But I just restarted my Terminal and it works fine now-- that is, if I call include("arg.jl"), and arg.jl doesn't call the function with @add_arg_table, it doesn't complain-- so I'm not sure what happened. Thanks for the help! I'll keep the DocOpt suggestion in mind-- I've had my fair share of problems with ArgParse.
