If you have a script (e.g. foo.sh) and you wish to pass arguments to the
script, your command line should look like "foo.sh arg1 arg2 arg3..." The
number of arguments will be correct and you will be able to access them as
${1}, ${2}, etc. Also, you may want to read up on the getopts command as a
way to process command line arguments.
Sincerely,
