 Oh yeah, I'm rusty on these dos-relative operating systems.  DOS/win/OS2
 they all get the full command line without the benefit of proper parsing
 by a shell.  I believe the cmdline() function returns the command line
 without the naive argv/argc busting that's passed to main(). 
 
 Someone needs to write our own argv/argc buster.  There may be a more
 intelligent one already in the Microsoft C library... I know there is a
 better one with WATCOM's C library.
 
 What a crock, eh?
