  9. //   Program -SETTING=VALUE
  10. //   Program /BOOL

  14. // SYNTAX: bool OptionalParameter(argc,argv,Setting[,Value])
  15. // WHERE: argc: argument count, as in main(argc,argv)
  16. //        argv: input arguments, as in main(argc,argv)
  17. //        Setting: case-insensitive string to match arguments
  18. //        Value: optional input to get value following Setting.
  19. //               If Value is not supplied then Settings is a boolean
  20. // RETURN: TRUE if Setting[Value] found, and sets Value and adjusts
  21. //         argc and argv; else returns FALSE and no arguments changed
