Ah, OK, now I see. I've been doing it the way you suggested, and as I 
reported it's painfully slow. Several degrees of ten times slower than 
the same commandline entered into an open terminal. Or even that opening 
a new terminal and then entering the command. I thought maybe there 
would be a way to make it faster.

So simple bash scripts can use $1 as well? That was what I was unsure 
about. I thought there was other syntax to introduce variables into them 
that I *didn't* know.

best,
