How does one set up a program to read in parameters from the command line?

Ex. :

Shell> pascal.prg -param1 -param2
                   ^^^^^^  ^^^^^^
                   ||||||  ||||||
How does one accomplish this in standard (ISO) Pascal, if it is even
possible?  Or, if turbo Pascal will accomlish this, how?

I am using a Pascal compiler for my Amiga (Metacomco's MCC Pascal V2).

Any help, of course would be appreciated!


Thanks,

Robert Cooper
