I just tried out the 6.0 image, and it's not letting me provide
parameters like I used to:

$ mcr ckermit =param1 param2
my script ...
...
$

used to work fine on 5A(190), but 6.0(192) tells me "?No files match -
=param1".
I put a redundant switch on (-m hayes), but the "m" was then found as
the first parameter by my script.
Is there a better way to pass in values, or am I reading them wrong, or
what ?

Thanks, Chris Sharman
