I want to make sure I understand how the ORDER of the OPTIONS are to used.
I was using the "options.txt" file to determine the order of the options. Is that correct?

Why exactly did you recommend putting the --description AFTER the -c template.args option?

Can you add a note to "options.txt" and using SPLTTER (template.args) OVERWRITES --mapname, --description, and --input-file?

I have --area-name and I cannot see it anywhere in BaseCamp or my GPS.
I used --x-mapeset-name=blabla and I cannot see it anywhere in BaseCamp or my GPS.

The java code shows that the options area-name and mapset-name are evaluated.
The latter one doesn't appear in the help file, so it is an undocumented
option and
you can only use it with --x-mapeset-name=blabla

GMapTool shows the value, but I did not try where it appears on the device
or what effect it has.
