OK, that works for me. But...is there a way I can for example, get
something like this: I would like to access the parameters from input.topaz
script. For example:

set gems seaside user DataCurator pass swordfish
login
printIt
$2 factorial
%

And then call it like this:

 "bash test.sh input.topaz 20"

I would like to do that without having to export each variable
individually...  maybe using $@ somewhere?

Ok,  (System gemEnvironmentVariable: 'MYARG') is answering nil ...
however.....System performOnServer: 'echo $MYARG'  does answer correctly.
weird...
