Thanks.  Hopefully the Web servers will be back up soon and
I will be able to look this one up.
meanwhile:

ParamStr                                                        built-in

Synopsis

      function ParamStr (ParmNumber: Integer): String;

Description

    *Please note:* If you are using the Dos (DJGPP) or MS-Windows (mingw32)
    version of GPC and are getting unexpected results from `ParamStr', please see
    the section "Command-line Arguments Handling in DJGPP" of the DJGPP FAQ list.

Conforming to

    `ParamStr' is a Borland Pascal extension.

Example

      program ParamStrDemo;

      var
        i: Integer;

      begin
        WriteLn ('You have invoked this program with ',
                 ParamCount, ' arguments.');
        WriteLn ('These are:');
        for i := 1 to ParamCount do
          WriteLn (ParamStr (i))
      end.

Hope this helps

p.s. does anyone know what the dot-quad number is for "www.gnu-pascal.de"?
      perhaps the server is up but only the name is deleted from the dns
      database.
