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.
