I bought MT CShell from David Beckemeyer a few weeks ago. It is, of
course, fantastic. I sent a message to DB after I received it, but he 
did not send an answer, or more likely, he did and it bounced. I've 
answered most of the questions I had by working on my own, but here are 
two which someone may be able to help me with:

1) How do I use the ARGV environment variable? I know it has to be 
   something like xArgs, which I haven't used yet. I want to be able to 
   pass sickeningly long command lines to my own programs too.

2) How do I keep MT CShell from adding quotation marks here:
         set copt=-a -p
         program $copt -i${TCINC} $i
   program gets
         '-a -p' -id:\include myfile.c
   instead of
        -a -p -id:\include myfile.c
   I thought that you could set a variable to a list of words, but 
   MT-CShell is convinced that it has to be one word.

Thanks DB, or anyone else who can help.
