+MUTIL can also execute specific functions from the command line if they are not enabled in the .ini file.  This
+is done by using the -RUN or -EXEC or -EXECUTE option (they all do the same thing) followed by a comma separated
+list of headers that should be executed.
+If you are using a non-default .ini file then you mustr specify the execute command before the ini filename.  For example:
+  mutil -run PackMessageBases           (Run [PackMessageBases] from mutil.ini)
+  mutil -run PackMessageBases pack.ini  (Run [PackMessageBases] from pack.ini)
+An example of calling multiple headers from the command line (using multi.ini):
+  mutil -exec ImportEchoMail,LinkMessages
+Running MUTIL -l or -list from the command line will print a list of all available functions that MUTIL can do to the screen for reference.
+If you run MUTIL -help you will get the full list of options
+  MUTIL                           Execute using mutil.ini fil
+  MUTIL [IniFile]                 Execute using a custom INI
+  MUTIL -LIST                     List all MUTIL functions
+  MUTIL -RUN [Command]            Execute one or more (comma
+  MUTIL [IniFile] -RUN [Command]  Execute specific functions
+  MUTIL -NOSCREEN                 Execute without outputting
+  MUTIL -VER                      Show version information
