COMMAND$ Function Programming Example
 
CMD_EX.BAS is a program file in the subdirectory ADVR_EX that illustrates
the COMMAND$ function. To look at the program in the View window and,
optionally, to run it, load CMD_EX.BAS using the File menu's Open Program

by one or more blanks or tabs on the command line.
