I'm starting to write a basic CLI but as some things are easier done in 
asm and some in C I'm having to write in mix when writing in straight ASM 
would definitely be better.

This is the code I came up with (keeping in mind that "cmdlin" is 0x0200 
and "cmdnam" is 0x0280) to try to convert a C string, "buf", to the 
necessary format, which I have not yet tried to do anything with yet. (I 
have some BLOAD code lying around - haven't integrated it yet.)

 for (t=0; t<256; t++) cmdlin[t]=0;
 cmdlin[0]=0xB2; /* REM */
 if (strchr(buf,' '))
 {
  char *a;

  a=strchr(buf,' ');
  for (t=0; a[t]; t++) cmdlin[t+1]=a[t];
  *a=0;
 }

 if (*buf=='/')
  strcpy(cmdnam+1,buf);
 else
 {
  getcwd(cmdnam+1,127);
  if(cmdnam[strlen(cmdnam+1)]!='/') strcat(cmdnam+1,"/");
  strcat(cmdnam+1,buf);
 }
 *cmdnam=strlen(cmdnam+1);

I suppose if I had stuff to do this in ASM that would be most of what I'd 
need for the transient part of a shell, with 3D0 pointing to some code 
that would clear stuff out and return to the shell.  C...really isn't the 
tool for the job...but I'm...not sure I could do it in asm :/
