Subject: Re: Commandline: How to add an own option?

OK, the context is:
-------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'commandline'

class App < CommandLine::Application
  def initialize
    < the body from my openining >
  end
end
-------------

The code has been stolen from the rdoc of class CommandLine. The only
thing, I added to initialize was the statement

   option :distance, :names => ...

w/o this, the code works, but I need an option distance for my app.

I don't think, that the error message:
   ERROR: Unknown option setting 'distance'.
follows from the option :version, :names => %w(--version -v)
