Thanks for getting back sakya! The only trouble I have is that without the -c option I have no record of the sms messages I send and with it it's not really command line only! I have also noticed that if I am viewing a conversation with a recipient and I send to that recipient with the -c option it brings up the dashboard. This means that the first sms I send brings up the conversation window and the second sends it away again (or at least means I have to tap it in the dashboard).
