Use option file (-m)

Syntax: -mFILE

Read more options from the specified FILE. This allows you to specify a file that contains commonly used gw options. Place options in FILE one per line without the leading -. Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored. Make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces or tabs on the option lines. Do not use quotes that you would use on the command line to protect special characters from the shell.

Other options, including -m, may still be placed on the command line when using -m. This option may be used multiple times. It may even be used within an option file. Just be sure not reference an option file from within itself!

Options are read in the order specified. Options following the -m option may override those in the option file.

e.g.: ``gw -o -msomesite.set -v http://www.somesite.com/'' will read options from the file named somesite.set.
