Hi Al,

I would have to experiment, but you may be able to convert the command tail 
string to numbers in the parseline function or as Jim noted in precmd.  I'm 
not sure how they would automaticly pass to your function though.

An alternative idea is to have a standard helper routine that your function 
calls to convert its tail string in the function.  This could be keyed to 
the function name and have a small footprint.  I can give you a short 
example if you want.

In either case don't you have to convert to int or float or something else 
depending on the parameter?

I've begun playing with Python's CMD module, and I  now have a
functioning command line interface to my program. I was initially
perplexed though as I was seeing odd errors when executing many of my
methods. Long story short, I realized that this was due to the fact that
CMD passes parameters in as strings, and my functions expected ints.
It's really not a big deal, I can just convert to int within each
method, but it seems there should be a more elegant way to deal with this.

Thanks,

Al
