No inconsistencies whatsoever. golux asked if I was sure that the command I was posting was what was really being entered. His thinking was sound, I could have been running script b but pasting what was in script a. I correctly informed him that I was actually running the command in the console window and I was cutting and pasting the actual command I ran when I got the behavior I was seeing. Note: I never said I typed the command into the command prompt every time, you just inferred that to make your point. It's a long command so I typed it into my command prompt the first time and then cut and pasted that into notepad. I would then cut and paste the command from notepad into my console window. That is why I had the same typo several times. When the typo was pointed out I ran the fixed command in my console and then copied that command to notepad. It is also why I inadvertently called the command later with --gui after I had removed it once for testing. I copied and pasted the command in my console window and removed the --gui. I neglected to remove it from notepad.
