I think it would be good to be able to paste a single EPD right into the command line as a parameter, but I don't see that that's an option. Permitting this would facilitate creating a GUI front end (which otherwise would have to use a temporary file or something as a way to get the EPD into Chest). I was a command line jockey in the '70s and '80s, but have given up my "memorize and type" ways for "recognize and point" (i.e., GUI).
