Thanks. But, I'm trying to design this script for users to put in 
arguments. (It's  an image modification script that ftps named files 
from one server to another.) So, a user might type in: test1.rb 
im123456-im123459 im123462 im123466

and, I'd want to capture each of those entries, or series of entries. 
So, eventually, yes, I want to get to what you typed in above, but, I 
have to decipher the ARGV stuff first.
