Find And Run Robot / Re: Looking for a little help with arguments.

Mouser - Thanks very much for your instantaneous response!
I understand that FARR must by default look for more search terms as the entry is expanded. But I thoroughly endorse your last thought of using some marker of arguments. My personal preference is for one or two "escape" characters at most:
k-meleon ::argument_terms or k-meleon \+argument_terms
preferable (from the point of view of typing) to k-meleon +args argument_terms
In the same vein, I appreciated discovering the +sall modifier to expand search results, but found it a bit more than ideal to type. The longer +term syntax has the virtue of clarity for macros and aliases, but strikes me as longish for routine keyboard use.
Thanks again for your extraordinary work.
