Subject: converting parameter to words

    I have a script that I want to pass multiple arguments to.  These
arguments, however, need to appear with a '-r' in front of them in the
command executed inside the script. For example, if I do this:

$ example this that other

    The script will need to execute

command -r this -r that -r other

    One thought on this was:

#!/bin/zsh

for i
do
  temp="$temp -r $i"
done

command $temp

     Of course, this doesn't work because zsh passing the string inside
$temp as a single argument to the program, instead of parsing it for
words.  From the man page, it sounds like ${^temp} or ${=temp} should
work, but neither does.
