A-Shell Consolidated Reference

This system variable is automatically set to contain the remainder of the command line used to start the current program. For example, if the program was started with:

RUN FALALA do re mi

Then A$=CMDLIN would set A$ to "DO RE MI" (always folded to upper case).

xcall LSTLIN, A$, on the other hand, would return "RUN FALALA do re mi," the complete command line with no folding.
