I believe the programs in question are using LIB$GET_FOREIGN to get the
command line. If this is the case, you need to do the following:

  $ PRG :== $disk:[dir]PROGRAM
  $ PRG P1 P2 P3

You need to replace "disk" and "dir" with the appropriate disk name and
directory specification for your executable. If you just type

  $ PRG :== $PROGRAM

VMS assumes that the program sits in SYS$SYSTEM:.
