Can I pass the password from the command line?

I'd like to script encryption and decryption from the command line. Is
there a way to pass the encryption passphrase to GnuPG from the
command line. For example:

gpg2 --encrypt --recipient --passphrase anthony at cajuntechie.org
SomePassphrase FileIWantToEncrypt

Is this possible at all? If so, how? Also, the same question for
decryption.

Thanks!
Anthony
