Actually, I take that back, there is, so I would expect something like "-s[TAG]%A" to work as you intend.

I just committed a trivial update to rlogin.js that'll allow you to specify the -s (or -c) option multiple times to build up the auth string, e.g.

        ?rlogin server -s[TAG] -s %a

But the other way (with the quotes and no spaces) should work too.
