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.

Use GetModuleName() on your hInstance to get the full path name of your
program. I hope GetModuleName() is the correct name, I don't have the
refman here but I already used this function some time ago.

According to QuickHelp, it's GetModuleFileName() ... good reference! I
didn't know about this one.

GetModuleFileName() will do the trick.

You may have to GetModuleHandle() on yourself, or perhaps you can pass
your hInst as well... (david?)
