Ahh, I see.  However, last I checked, the get_args code (I apologize
if I have the function name wrong), stopped the very first time it
found a successful match.  I guess that would be my real issue if
later arguments are to override previous arguments.  I will verify
later, but this was the case in early 1.3.X kinit source.

Ah, that may be part of it then.   I have not used the -- param for
this, and was not aware it was needed.  I will check later.

Thanks
