Yes, I've also read the bit about time-outs and default values.
This makes what would be fairly simple to do portably more problematic.
You now need a portable way to wait n seconds for user input, else
continue running.
The command line idea has the most promise, IMHO. Except then the
command line args need to match the variables in the script.
The most portable way would be to not change anything. Include a .inc
file which defines your variables, put a note in your script and maybe a
#debug to remind users to set the values.
PoD.
