All parameters will be passed as character, and any unused parameters will
have a value of .F. in VFP. If you use the "/" character, you'll have to
parse it out of the character string that was passed. In your example,
you'd have two parameters, and the content of your first parameter would be
"/s" and the second would be "/v". A space is the command line delimiter
between parameters.
