supported by BASIC, the following syntax was choosen:
<tscreen><verb>
- CALL2048:REM,ARG1," ARG2", ARG 3,, ARG5, ...
+]CALL2048:REM ARG1 " ARG2 IS QUOTED" ARG3 "" ARG5
</verb></tscreen>
<enum>
-<item>Arguments are separated by commas.
-<item>There must be a comma after the first <tt/REM/.
-<item>Leading spaces are ignored; trailing spaces are included unless the
- argument was quoted.
+<item>Arguments are separated by spaces.
+<item>Arguments may be quoted.
+<item>Leading and trailing spaces around an argument are ignored. Spaces within
+ a quoted argument are allowed.
<item>The first argument passed to <tt/main/ is the program name.
+<item>A maximum number of 10 arguments (including the program name) are
+ supported.
