HEW from command line or python script?

Hi,

Can HEW be run from a batch file through the command line or from python?

I see that there is a list of supported commands for the command line within the help documentation, but I can't tell if that is intended to be run from within HEW, or if it could be run from a batch file.

What I am looking to do is open an existing workspace, verify / set link options, and then build.

Thanks
