   APW and Orca are compatible.. actually, they're identical.  I don't know
if the Prosel CLI supports the Byteworks (Orca/APW) method of passing
command line parameters to a program.  Actually, if someone could give me
information on how Prosel (and perhaps ECP, Davex, etc) does this, I
could probably write a little library to figure out what shell SS is running
under and handle it appropriately.
