[Cuis-dev] [IMPROV] Configurable command line exception handling

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Thanks Gerald,

I tested a bit. As expected, it raises the debugger when I start  with a 
faulty script.

A few observations:

1) One can get the help without the open/close VM window sequence with 
the VM -headless option:

../VM/squeak -headless cuis.image -h

A bit odd but it may have the side effect for the newbie to understand 
where are going the different options.

2) If I understand correctly, after the -- option I can add option I can 
then process myself in the image? If so I can use it to process option 
passed to DrGeo, for example to open a sketch file from a file manager, 
right ?

3) Spelling error: -s <scriptFile> Evaluate code *ein* <scriptFile>

4) I will test further the -e option in future evolution of my start up 
script.

5) If integrated in the image, I will document it in the Cuis Book.
