I recently decided to try using those bracket letters when compiling my plotscripts to avoid long lists of pointless 'warnings'. However, I think I am having a problem, or perhaps I do not understand how these things work. I type in:

hspeak [-w] script1.txt

and the next thing the compiler asks me is whether I would like to overwrite script1.TXT. Shouldn't it send the compiled plotscript to a .HS file? This has me too scared to press y (for fear of deleting the first page of my source). I then thought that maybe if I used the brackets, it would want me to specify the destination too, so I typed:

hspeak [-w] script1.txt [script1.hs]

and it STILL asked me about overwriting script1.TXT. I gave up on it and just compiled 'normally', but I just thought of it again now, and so I thought I'd ask for help while I'm here.

You're just misreading the command-line description. The elements in brackets are meant to signify optional elements.

HSPEAK.EXE [-cdefwy] source.hss [dest.hs]

-c colors will be disabled
-d dump debug report to hs_debug.txt
-f fast mode. disables some optimization
-w suppress minor warnings
-y overwrite the destination file without asking
-z write error messages to hs_error.htm


To run hspeak while suppressing minor warnings, you would use this command:

Code:
HSPEAK.EXE -w source.hss


By including the brackets, hspeak was interpreting [-w] as the source file, which made it think script1.txt the destination.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.
