1.4 Simulating command line arguments

There are two ways to simulate command-line arguments with MacPython.

1. via Interpreter options
   - Hold the option-key down when launching your script. This will bring up a dialog box of Python Interpreter options.
   - Click ``Set Unix-style command line..'' button.
   - Type the arguments into the ``Argument'' field.
   - Click ``OK''
   - Click ``Run''.

2. via drag and drop If you save the script as an applet (see Section 1.6.4), you can also simulate some command-line arguments via ``Drag-and-Drop''. In this case, the names of the files that were dropped onto the applet will be appended to `sys.argv`, so that it will appear to the script as though they had been typed on a command line. As on Unix systems, the first item in `sys.srgv` is the path to the applet, and the rest are the files dropped on the applet.
