[REBOL] Command Line Args Re:(2)

[bpaddock]

system/script/args is only for arguments passed with DO/ARGS.
system/options/args is for arguments passed from the command
line.

I was going by what was in section 
http://www.rebol.com/users/operunning.html of Core User Guide
2.2.0.

system/options/ does not appear any place in that document
that I saw.

Doing a 'probe system' to see what might be in the system
object causes my Rebol, under Windoze95, to lock up.
Not a good thing.

Hi Bo,

system/script/args is only for arguments passed with DO/ARGS.
system/options/args is for arguments passed from the command
line.

Interesting enough, under Win95 system/script/args did contain the command
line args!
Actually, they both worked!

It may help to write a little test program, like this:

 write %trim.r {
{[
{rebol []
{write %text.txt mold system/script/args
{]
{}

and view the contents of %test.txt. Given the example of:
rebol -swq trim.r file1.in file2.out
I get:
"file1.in file2.out"
in %test.txt. Try it out for your self and see. Then your problem should
be obvious. If not, let's know about it.

 I tested it on my machine (running Win95) and it worked as advertised,
i.e.
 the arguments were available under system/script/args as a string.

 What did you expect would happen? Perhaps the problem is with trim.r?

 I want to do some thing like this from the command line:
 
 rebol -swq trim.r file.in file.out
 
 Manual says I should see "file.in and file.out" at
 system/script/args but I don't.
 
 What am I doing wrong?
