Hi,

I tried piecing something like in $topic together,

intended as an 'interactive' command interpreter for my program. (which will in 
time grow an 'embedded' web server and intended to
run as a (windows) service, but it's too early for that at the
moment)

Looking at your question another way, I suppose that you also have
the issue of parsing a command as well as handling the data entry. I
think that there's various possibilities here depending on what
you're trying to handle:

* A simple sequence of names/numbers.

Supposedly this would do, parameters mostly are numbers (but when parsing
through a TStringList everything is a string first anyway, so I can define
some rules as to which parameter is what type)

Parse the first word to an enumeration, feed that to a case. Leave options for terminating characters, case sensitivity and so on.

* A unix-style command line, with leading options.

Would be nice, however I don't need 'if' or explicitly defined looping 
instructions...

No, I mean parsing of options starting - or -- together with their parameters. 'if' etc. are part of the shell, so are a distinct issue.
