so... noGUI? maybe... :?

i also have to dig back to find an unit/procedure that confused me... a command 
line processing one... it seems that it is only available with an application 
project and not via a non-GUI one... i think... it seems to me that anything 
available to a GUI app, like command line params, should also be available to a 
non-GUI one... i have been meaning to bring this up in the past but have had 
other projects in the way... i won't hijack this thread any further than this, 
though and will try to bring this up shortly... but first, i need to figure out 
what lib it is in ;) :P ;)
