It looks like you can't get command line args when running sml thusly;

  sml files.sml arg1 arg2 ...

I assume the reason is that sml needs to know when the arglist  
belonging to it stops

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an argumen something like

   --args

or similar.  This would then allow sml to make the args available to  
through the CommandLine interface.

Just an idea...

Yes, I know it's really not that much trouble to just build with ml- 
build, but for quick hacks, it would just be easier.

Also I've noticed that running sml with args will leave you with the  
prompt, unless you do

   sml < file.sml

Is there anyway, maybe using some os function to exit instead of  
entering the repl ?
