you can get the "unparsed" arguments during runtime (though after
creation time) just fine. this is what every save-routine does (unless
somebody decides to really save 1053 instead of $0)
Yes, I thought of that, but just try it, you'll see: it'll complain about
missing $1, $2, etc. as you try making such messageboxes, because the
$-substitution does happen anyway even if you ignore it. Even though it
technically would work, no-one would want to put up with those error
messages.
