CS:80H is only the command line tail in a .COM program, and then only right after startup. For a .EXE program, use the ES register, which will point to the PSP at startup. Once the program gets running, all bets are off. Let me point out that the Logitech compiler, which was asked about, will read the command line instead of the keyboard input until the command line is exhausted. I don't have the exact calls here in front of me, but you can check to see if stuff is on the command line by using the high level text input call InputWaiting, or something like that.
