I'll rember that, especially if my app is in 'script' mode and not prompting
the user.

Unless you want to use batch files AS a test suite or to call with specific
args.
Or a batch to always run in debug mode ...

I.E.:
--- begin mytest.bat
@echo off
echo prompting test for script.py > mytest.txt
script.py -debug mode=!CLI >> mytest.txt
--- end

There are many handy uses.
Despite the old basic ... it's funtional.
Much the same for C scripts on *nix.


Why ignore it?
