Thanks.

What is the relevance to my question? (How do I obtain the contents of R0 on 
entry to a C program from Rexx?)

There are three cases

 1. address foo bar baz
    Pass command bar baz to environment foo
    address foo
    bar baz

 2. call bar baz
    Invoke bar with parameter baz; return value optional

 3. bar(baz) in an expression
    Invoke bar with parameter baz; return value required
    

The last two cases are essentially the same. In the first case the value of baz 
is passed as a single parameter even if it contains spaces or commas, but the 
command processor for the environment may parse it into subparameters.

In the second and third cases baz must be a list of expressions, separated by 
commas; there are no constrains on the values of those expressions.
