See the source supplied with your compiler, src/_main.c. The answer
is "not exactly". In this case, argc == 0 (whereas in a CLI environment
it'll always be >= 1), and you look through "extern struct WBStartup
*WBenchMsg" to find any workbench arguments (locks on shift-clicked icons,
etc).

Pretty straightforward. Just remember to be careful of doing i/o like
printf() without a window (fireworks mode).

In order to get stdio functions like printf to write to the window you
opened as opposed to causing fireworks, I think you have to do:
	handle = Open("CON:0/0/200/320/MyName", MODE_NEWFILE);
	_devtab[0] = handle;	/* reset stdin */
	_devtab[1] = handle;	/* reset stdout */
	_devtab[2] = handle;	/* reset stderr */

Or something like that. Again see _main.c.
