I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe that this can have values other than
one.  I think that it is actually argc.

<     #0                  ;followed by another null byte
<     C:\PAS\ENV.COM#0    ;argv[0], null-terminated

The entire command line _might_ be copied here.  Again, I don't remember
exactly.
