Also common, but how do you specify a keyword, then? Say you have a command with subcommands: $0 foo x y Move the foo to (x,y) $0 bar x y z Go to bar X, order a Y, and Z it [eg 'compress', 'gzip', 'drink'] How do you show that x/y/z are mandatory args, but foo/bar are keywords to be typed exactly? In some formats italicized text can make that distinction, but not in pure text. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
