Keep calling ProgramParameter() until it returns an empty string, because each
time it's called, it returns the NEXT parameter. For example:

Code: Select all

Dim p$(99) ; To store parameters (well, up to 99 of them!).
Repeat
  a$=ProgramParameter()
  If a$"" ; Parameter found!
    p=p+1 : p$(p)=a$ ; Add it to the list.
  EndIf
Until a$=""
