Launching scripts without GUI

Instead of using the GUI, parameters can be specified on the command line typing `name = value' after the script name.

If you are running your own scripts that call OSA many times you don't want the GUI to pop up each time. In such a case set COMMONSCRIPT variable to `1' with:

setenv COMMONSCRIPT 1

This is automatically done if you use the file created with the help of the `Save as' - button, see above.

To have the GUI back again, unset the variable:

unsetenv COMMONSCRIPT
