Al,

Looking at the CLI quickly it looks like its related to batch exporting.
 I'm trying to quickly create +1500 new digital object records in AT (ie.
go into a resource, click new instance, choose digital object, add the
title, add the mets identifier, click save).

If I misread what the CLI does, then I'm all ears on how I could use it to
help.

Thanks!
Rosalyn
