Summary: 


It may be an ugly solution, but the exact command tail is available in
the program segment prefix created for the command. (I think it is at
offset 80h, but check the manual.) You can write your code to pick it
up raw and parse it in any way you want. What you get is simply the 
complete string of characters that followed the command name. This includes
any white space, etc.
