If you're trying to get a launch to prompt for command-line arguments,
I've had success with:

${string_prompt}

In the "Arguments" field.

arguments

Hi Elaina,

I can't seem to get this tip to work.  What I get instead is an error
"Reference to undefined variable PeekAddress".  This is for a
command-line of just

${PeekAddress}

I've tried using double quotes, and question marks in various
combinations, but nothing seems to work.  What am I missing?

Okay.  I get it now--it must be the exact literal "string_prompt" inside
the curly braces.  My assumption was that this was a string prompt that
was configurable so that you could actually provide the prompt text.

If I use the value ${string_prompt} exactly as written, it stops and
asks as it should.  Anything else grabs a variable of that name.
