Do this instead (definitely the best way to pass the arguments):

     tm_dialog < args.plist MyNib.nib

Or alternatively:

     tm_dialog -p "$PLIST" MyNib.nib

The quotes are important, otherwise the shell will do argument- 
splitting after expanding the PLIST variable.

If I understand you, that is a correct assumption. I.e. the plist  
returned can be passed in, as it is the data model, so to speak.
