Vanilla UV, UDT paragraph: you can't, but...
I wrote my own verb that packs stuff from the command line into an
"inline prompt" variable.
( What is called Inline-promts are really paragraph variables. the name
of the variable is (sometimes) also a prompt.
I think "inline prompt" is a poor name. )
PA
ILPROMPT.DEF "USER0 or anything you want" @USER0
DISPLAY <<USER0 or anything you want>>
The guts of my ilprompt.def program does the basic function:
DATA @USER0
BREAK OFF ; HUSH ON
DUM = ILPROMPT( '<<A,USER0 or anything you want>>' )
HUSH OFF ; BREAK ON
that makes it available subsequently in the calling paragraph.
Of course, my DATA statement and ILPROMPT() arguments are more
generalized parsing the command line for a variety of things, including
a select or savedlists that does the equivalent of
<<R(delim_string),...>> :

You're welcome in retrospect,
