In brief, hoping to put this question to rest :)  :

1) Declare a string and use Move() to copy the command line tail to
the string; or

2) Declare a pointer to a string and assign the address of the
command line tail to the pointer.

The command line tail is located at PrefexSeg:$80. It comprises the
entire DOS command line (or EXECed command, etc.), including all
white space, less the program name and any redirection/piping symbols
(> < |) and their arguments.
