cli="myprog"
count=1
operation=""
for argument in $*
do
   count=`expr $count + 1`
   letter=`echo $letters | head +$count | tail -1`
   cli="$cli -$letter ${argument}/${argument}.ext"
   if [ -z "$operation" ]
   then
      operation=$letter
   else
      operation="${operation}+${letter}"
   fi
done
cli="$cli -operation \"$operation\""
$cli
