Hmm, I had just replaced the default ulink.cfg with the content of ulink.dm 
(and adusted the path for -L), so I was missing -r and -O...But it looks 
like the main problem is that I'd been working on it for too long and too 
damn late at night, so I forgot to surround -L{path with spaces} in double 
quotes. I'm getting Unilinks's Syntax screen now...We'll see how it goes 
from here...
