There is as you probably know the variable __argv available, which is the   
processed commandline.  Standard C provides the program name as argv[0].  The
fact that in a windows program argv[0] contains kern286.exe or equal 
should be concidered to be a bug.  Since this all is parsed by windows before
you can get your hands on it, it will be very difficult to get the program
name.

By the way the variable __argv is only spelled correctly (two __ ) on page
2-16 of the guide to programming, all other references are spelled as _argv,
which of cource doesn't work.
