Aucbvax.6841 fa.info-vax utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!info-vax Wed Apr 21 17:33:15 1982 Foreign command line >From GZ@MIT-MC Wed Apr 21 17:20:16 1982 This is really a crock but if you get the command line with CLI, the program name is there, before the pointer returned to you. I.e. it looks something like this

UMENU FOO FIE ^ Your pointer.

Just back up the pointer to the first non-alphabetic character (usually a rubout it seems). I don't know whether GET_FOREIGN works the same way or whether it copies the command args part for you.
