sending more than 5 values to a dclerk from command line

Set each keyword as the value of a unique shell environment variable, 
then use the filepro getenv() function to retrieve the value in 
processing.  Curious - you say "12 or more" - is the number considered 
variable for the script?

Should i use the 5 existing R flags and use a MID command to chop them up into the multiple values?  Is there another, better way to accomplish this?   thank you very much, in advance.
