Right, this is exactly the difference in *FUNCTIONALITY* that I see between
different "nodes used to build a command".  *BUT*, after the discussions
we've had, I should point out that these "nodes used to build a command",
that Nicolas is referring to, are what Jean-Marc would refer to as
different, individual "subnets".  These nodes that Nicolas and I invision
are not "basic node types".

In Jean-Marc's screenshot, he built a command much more simply than I would
have.  He placed the "basic node type" of "Add" where I would have put some
"subnets".  *AND* (now this is important) THE SUBNETS WOULD BE *NAMED*
"flag", "filename", ETC., AND THEY WOULD NOT SHARE THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY.

I hope this cleared up the confusion between everyone.  Did it?
