Shell Script Parameters (was RE: how to?)

To more a file from within 4GL in a ridiculously convoluted way: In the 4GL: run "mymore.sh filename" -----------------START SCRIPT mymore.sh------------------ #!/bin/ksh more $1 -----------------END SCRIPT mymore.sh------------------ $1...$9 refers to the 1st...9th parameters. $* refers to all the commandline parameters $0 refers to the script being run. You can have as many parameters inside the quoted run string as you like. "man sh" will tell you more.
