                    keypair = credentials(), print = getOption('MTurkR.print'),
                    browser = getOption('MTurkR.browser'), 
                    log.requests = getOption('MTurkR.log'),
                    sandbox = getOption('MTurkR.sandbox'),
                    validation.test = getOption('MTurkR.test'))
