Be careful!   This is the old way that MT C-Shell used to pass arguments.
This was changed in version 1.10 and later to use the MWC ARGV envioronment
format "standard"!

Jack if you have version 1.0 of MT C-Shell, you are due for an upgrade.
That version is *very* old and the newer versions are *much* *much* improved.
The current version of MT C-Shell is 1.20.

If you don't know what the MWC ARGV format is, let me know and I can
give you the info.   I'm not posting it here now because it's been 
gone over many times before.   There is a file on the BDT BBS called
NEWENV.ARC in the MT file area (BBS number 415-452-4792).
