F1GP-Ed command-line processing is carried out in the standard KS 2.0 way
(ie using ReadArgs()).  Users with previous kickstart versions are forced
to customize soley via tooltypes, as the cutdown usage is:

   F1GP-Ed  
     where datafile is the name of a datafile you wish to load

Now that's out of the way those of you with KS 2.0 or higher may read on :)
Each parameter specified overrides the corresponding tooltype value (if it
exists) in the F1GP-Ed icon.  The parameters are identical to the tooltypes
and are NOT case sensitive and can be specified in any order. The template
is:

   DATAFILE,LOADF1GP/S,DELAY/K/N,SAVETOMEM/S,PATCH/S,QUIT/S,FONT/K,
   FONTSIZE/K/N,PUBSCREEN/K,KEYPATH/K,HELPFILE/K,ASYNCHELP/S,NOACTIVATE/S,
   NOGUI/S:

Examples of running F1GP-Ed from a Shell (note that the actual result can
depend on what tooltypes you have set in the F1GP-Ed icon):
