Hi,
The output for the input is as follows:
address@hidden tests]$ ./espa argment2.tcl A B C

the command was: argment2.tcl
The first argument was:  1
The  arguments were :   1
number of words was:   1
 and the tcl script was 
#!/bin/sh
#### tricking... the line after a these comments are
interpreted as standard shell script \
 exec $ESPRESSO_SOURCE/Espresso $0 $*



puts "the command was: $argv0"
puts "The first argument was:  [lindex $argv 0]"
puts "The  arguments were :   $argv"
puts "number of words was:   $argc"
and espa just contained the path to the bin  and
Espresso. I use this path for all my runs that has
given proper values.Clearly I am not getting a proper
reading  for $argv.
Any suggestions for the sake of Espresso?
