   :-)  In that case I would not even bother to prefix the name of the

   Besides it throwing an error when an unknown first argument would be   
   provided, it also doesn't do what I asked :   
      
   calling it with "1 foo" would display "program 1 was called with parameter 1   
   foo".    Its exactly that last "1" that I'm trying to get rid of.
