We are new users of OS9 and have what seems a simple question
about shell utilities. How do you pass an argument to a shell
- something likeusing !$ in UNIX scripts?

	For example, if we want a general purpose utility to
edit, compile, and link a program XXX, we just want to type:

	doitall XXX

where XXX may be anything at different times.

Please email the answer unless you think this is useful to
others. It seems like we're just missing something simple.

thanks, rich
