I need a nudge in the right direction - a pointer to a specific chapter
in some manual will do.

I have a non-visual Harlequin (under NT) program (a parser generator)
that I want to run as a command-line program under Windows (I'm begining
to peruse the "delivery" manual now).

How do I read parameters from the command line (e.g. filenames to be
parsed, compiler switches, etc)?  Likewise, how do I get at environment
variables?

Thanks
Paul Tarvydas

Now Xanalys LispWorks, and it will work in W95/98 as well.  :CONSOLE T
is what you're looking for.

LW:ENVIRONMENT-VARIABLE.  SETF will work.
