Excellent point; though avoiding adding yet another limited-use option seems like a fair trade-off here. Though maybe we also need to add the traditional "--" option as well. I'm not married to the idea though; but its also not like mis-interpreting the final argument as an integer instead of a database is going to be a silent error. David J.
