Writing Unix script to accept arguments

Hi,

This may be answered elsewhere but I wasn't entirely sure of the wording I should use to search so here we go with an attempt:

I wish to make a script that will allow commands to be passed to it such as:

<command> -oOPTIONS -aANOTHER -pRINT

etc

However I don't really know the syntax of what to do ir how to accept them with in the code.

Like for example:

If I want it do run a certain command if -o equals "Fred".

If anyone has any help or "how to's" it would be most apprieciated.
