File /usr/lib/tcltk/linuxcnc/bin/halshow.tcl is not writable! Use -f to open anyway.

For shell commands, I generally assume that flags can go anywhere. However, rmate seems to only parse arguments rmate <here> filename.
This is, well, certainly unexpected, if not a huge issue. It'd be nice if arguments to rmate behaved like every other well-behaved command-line tool.
Mmmm ... thanks for the suggestion, i'll have a look into this.
I've created a branch for this and i think i fixed it - could you give it a try?
I've merged this into the master branch, because i think it's fixed now.
Cool! Sorry, I haven't had a chance to poke at it yet.
