Why -- when supplying jjs script arguments?

It's just a little awkward for scripting. I'd suggest to change the 
behavior of the arguments when in scripting mode, so that in scripting 
mode only one script is read, and the others are args.

Cheers,

Cay

At one point it was possible to #!/usr/bin/jjs -- to get all the script command line arguments as arguments, but this doesn't seem to work any more, will check with the launcher team about this.
