Re: Question about cli interface and invoices

[Charley Tiggs <..hidden..>]

Chris,

I played with ledgersmb_cli.pl a couple of weeks ago and had trouble 
figuring out exactly how to work it and the example wasn't clear to me 
and since I knew you were actively working to make it a bit smarter, I 
left it alone at that time.

Can you give me another example of how the ledgersmb_cli.pl works as 
related to, say, creating a customer?  Perhaps that will help me get my 
head wrapped around this easier/better.
