arggh, i did not try the to_s :)
thanks

#        exit
#      end
# the reason that the 'to_s' is required is that the usage returns and  
# object that inherits from array and ruby treats 'puts an_array'  
# specially.  i should changed that in the next version... regardless  
# 'usage.to_s' will continue to work.

no problem, ara. The usage.to_s is good enough.


# i'd be interested to see what you come up with for an auto usage

no, the automessage part is fine.
my plan really is to add more info on --help and i was  looking where to add more :)

eg, i want to add sections like "other info", "gotchas", "copyright", "reporting bugs", and "see also".

it's working great. really.  my suggestions were purely cosmetics. and btw, the new mode option is cool.
many thanks again.
