Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
If that's the only mistake I've made in my previous message,
I've done well... but why do I doubt that???  ;^)

But it also alerts me to the fact, that applications that do not
"take" arguments, also might not "refuse" them. In other words, those
apps that take no arguments may not be checking to be sure that none
were given, and issueing error/warning messages in that case. Another
issue is whether it would be desirable for many apps to do so...(In
other words, people use apps depending on this behavior)!

Sigh.
