I have a question about style. I am writing a commodity and am wondering about the proper way to approach the issue of ToolTypes and command line arguments. I have the commodity working properly with both (WB/Shell) startup methods. I used the commodities.library ArgArray() functions which parse out both ToolTypes and Shell args correctly, but there doesn't seem to be any provision for a command line template. I can use ReadArgs() to do the template part, but that is duplicating the work of the ArgArray() functions. I am wondering how others handle this? Do you simply have no template? Do you use Readargs? Do you hack a template in? There is nothing in the RKM or the Style Guide that I could find that addresses this, yet it seems like quite a common problem. Thank you for any help you may have to offer. David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407
