* If the command starts with the definition of a customized command followed by a space character, the customized command will be used. See below for a description of customized commands.

Then a shebang line of '#! vpython' in a script named 'doit.py' will result in the launcher using the command-line 'c:\bin\vpython.exe -foo doit.py'

Shouldn't the second paragraph include a space before the 2nd ' ? In other words, the command as quoted does not show a "customized command followed by a space character" as the definition requires. I don't know why the space character is required, or maybe "white space" was meant, so that the line terminating newline character qualifies also to delimit the customized command?
