Thanks Tomte!! That's working great!!
From your code could you explain the 'help:i'.
From what I have read to date, the : means it is optional and the i sets it as an integer.
Does that mean that if it exists, it will set $help to 1 otherwise it will be 0?
Thanks again!

    ah no, my mistake...
    change the i to a + and test for $help>0
