Dave,
If you want to go down the CLI route and define your application in the
command dictionary then there is a simple example of defining a command
and calling CLI to process the options here (admittedly C based, but the
underlying calls are easy to transfer between languages):

Actually, this is pretty much exactly what
I was looking for. Not sure why I wasn't seeing it before, but that should do the
trick. I guess, coming from UNIX, I wasn't as clear on the distinction between an
executable and a command, so it looks like I need to build a command (or possibly, while
I'm getting up to speed, just take my arguments interactively, which is a whole lot
easier).
Thanks!

I never really dealt with Fortran in university,
and if I
had, it probably would have been in a Unix context. Anyone
have some pointers to me on how to process command-line
switches in VMS from Fortran (I'm specifically tinkering with
f77, but I suppose f90 should do; it's a matter of environment)?
You don't
make it clear whether you are running this as a foreign
command
or whether you have created a command definition and are running your
program as a CLI command. Since the latter requires enough work that
you would have seen the docs at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/84final/4493/4493pro_contents.html
I guess that you are doing the former.
