ahhh, okay. hadnt thought about that one. i usually dont write stuff
that needs that kinda thing. on the other hand, what would be wrong
with coding -v3 (verbose level 3)? seems easier to me somehow...

thanks. i figured getopt was designed the way it was for a reason, and 
wanted to hear what they were. still, i personally will veer towards
the getargs or similar py modules for my own stuff....
