Guy Bottu has already given you a complete answer.

Just one further point - the user can still change the value of symbcons 
by putting -symbcons=value on the commandline so you need to use the 
-cons toggle (or boolean) value to test whether to use the value in your 
program.

I will take a look at emma ... it was the first complex ACD file we 
wrote (a major, and successful, test that ACD could handle the number of 
options clustalw uses). Some of the options could be cleaned up.
