I'm trying to figure out how to pass a set symbol value to
Waterloo/Script on CMS from an exec and avoid the tokenization and truncation
to 8 chars which occurs.

The only thing I've been able to find that works is using a ? to get a
pushed value, as in the test below.

The only problem is that this causes Script to prompt for +MAILTO:
which I'd rather avoid.  Is there some other way?

+============================================== Beginning of TEST EXEC
/* test pushing parm */

queue 'friendly@hotspur.psych.yorku.ca'
'script test (+mailto ?'
-==================================================== End of TEST EXEC

+============================================ Beginning of TEST SCRIPT
ty mailto &mailto
-================================================== End of TEST SCRIPT

Please reply direct.
