Hi,
About Turbo Pascal command lines.... YOU CAN GET AT THEM EASILY IN 3.01A.
The function is PARAMCOUNT and PARAMSTR().
PARAMCOUNT returns the number of arguments, PARAMSTR() with an integer index
returns the passed parameter. You can even pass dummy variables when compiling
to memory by using the P option from the option menu.
ANYBODY ELSE IS WRONG!
I don't know right off if PARAMSTR(0) works, I've never had occasion to use it.
I have used PARAMSTR(X) where X>0 and X<10 and it works fine.
You can find more info (not much though) from the Turbo Pascal Reference Manual
page 144, top two entries.
The entries returned are direct copies of the PMC-DOS command line buffer, so I
presume (something about an ass out of you and an ass out of me) that the (0)
index will return the called command.
By, good luck....
