Hallo!
While I was writing a program using guienv, which should be started with
some arguments, I noticed, if it was started with the argument -name
followed by another word, these two arguments are lost. 
I have tested it with the following program on linux.
ORIGIN '~beta/guienv/v1.6/guienv';
-- program: Descriptor --
guienv
  (# 
  do
     noOfArguments->putInt;
     newline;
     (for i: noOfArguments repeat i->arguments->putLine for);
     terminate
  #)  
Running it, shows this
volkher@brain:/home/volkher/beta > ./argumentsTest -name volkher

../argumentsTest


This happens only using guienv.
