Hi Guys, More questions.

Does anyone know any way to read the name of an application or accessory
once it has been started (argv[0] to traditional `C' programmers).  I've
been trying to get the info, but can't seem to find it.  In particular,
I would like to have a single version of a RAM using accesory/program -
say an editor or ramdisk, and have it start up with the correct data
size just by changing the name.

Usual caveats apply: 1040, ROM TOS, Lattice C, PD assembler.

Any help, pointers, or workarounds appreciated.

Cheers,
Frank.
