I suggest to use `for i do' instead of `while test $# -gt 0;  do'
in  most  cases,  when  processing  command line arguments in the
shell.   [0]  `for  i do' does not work for flags with arguments,
though.

Btw: This form:
     for i
     do
is the most portable one, but ``for i do'' works everywhere,  ex-
cept for the original ash.  [1]
