There is a global singleton object called `arguments' that
should respond to `getMyArgument'.  That is, you could
modify the swarmdocs example like such:

   int 
   main (int argc, const char ** argv) 
   {
      initSwarmArguments (argc, argv, [MySwarmAppArguments class]);
   
      // the usual - buildObjects:, - buildActions:, -activateIn: calls

      printf( "The protocol arg is `%s'.\n", [arguments getProtocolArg] );

      return 0;                                       
   }

Hope that helps.

Ken.
