Re: Can someone allocate 2 command line switches for php cli on NetWare?

Doesn't netware have a standard wait or pause utility for this kind of thing? It feels like PHP is the wrong place to add this kind of option; why should every application that runs on netware include code to open a screen? Why should every application that runs on netware include press-any-key code? Surely it is better to port a real shell and put the netware code in there instead? --Wez.
