Power getopts

Hi Jim mcnamara and friends,
I used getopts in the way you suggested. But what if i have to send two mandatory arguments to the script and the rest two as optional parameters ?
i have having problem in giving both Mandatory and optional fields at the same time to the script.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Veera

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
