   Can anyone tell me what needs to be passed in the Parameter Block.  I've found   
   http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/rbinter/it/90/15.html which says:   
      
   02h	DWORD	pointer to command tail to be copied into child's PSP   
      
   When it says tail end of the command do they mean something like "command.com   
   /?" or just "command.com"?  Also, in a 16-bit OS the tail end will only be 2   
   bytes so what (if anything) goes into offset 4 and 5?
