Certainly appreciate the help. Here's a typical one when running Mustella:

-debug -define=3DCONFIG::skaha,false
-compiler.fonts.managers=3Dflash.fonts.JREFontManager,flash.fonts.AFEFontMa=
na
ger,flash.fonts.BatikFontManager,flash.fonts.CFFFontManager
-source-path=3D/Users/pent/apache/flex/mustella/Assets
-includes=3DExcludeFileLocation -includes=3DSetShowRTE
-includes=3DSaveBitmapFailures
-includes=3Ddatagrid_properties_lockedColumnCount_mxml
-source-path=3D/Users/pent/apache/flex/mustella/tests/components/DataGrid/D=
at
aGrid_SparkSkin/Properties --allow-source-path-overlap=3Dtrue
-includes=3DSendResultsToRunner  -includes=3DExitWhenDone -source-path=3D.
-source-path=3D/Users/pent/apache/flex/mustella/../frameworks/
-source-path=3D/Users/pent/apache/flex/mustella/as3/src/mustella

Try changing my path, "/Users/pent/apache/" to something like
"/Users/pent/apache with spaces/" to get a better example.

What happens in the code is that groups of these options may be coming
from the environment, so you might find "-debug
-define=3DCONFIG::skaha,false" being added as a single entity. Then code
turns what it has at the moment into a String[] and passes that to another
function that might add more arguments. If that function does, it will
turn the String[] back into a String, add the arguments, then turn it back
into String[]. =20

But if you can make something that will convert the args into an
acceptable String[] it would be super-helpful.

Thanks!
