That won't work under old TOS (pre-1.4) because the Desktop upcases
args, making -o into -O.
Simply "jas myfile.s" should work from the Desktop -- but it doesn't. I
don't know why not, even after looking at the sources. The
argument-parsing routine is setting an error flag for some unknown reason.

There is a CC program rewritten for Desktop use -- it's not GEM, but it
lets you run without a shell. I don't have it. I think it's on the
Panarthea file server.
I started writing a graphical GEM shell about a year ago. I didn't finish
it because I didn't find it convenient to use and there did not seem to be
any demand for it.
