   The issue is that I cannot find a path prefix that restrict qualifier   
   to the parameter for usage by CLI$PRESENT.   
      
   $ type duo.cld   
   define verb duo   
        image "sys$disk:[]duo"   
        parameter p1, value(type=$file, list, required)   
   qualifier q, placement=positional   
   $ type duo.pas   
   [inherit('sys$library:pascal$cli_routines')]   
   program duo(input,output);   
      
   type   
       pstr = varying [255] of char;   
      
   var   
       fnm, a, b : pstr;   
      
   begin   
       if odd(cli$present('Q')) then begin   
          writeln('Q=present')   
       end else begin   
          writeln('Q=notpresent')   
       end;   
       while odd(cli$get_value('P1', fnm.body, fnm.length)) do begin   
          write(fnm);   
          if odd(cli$present('Q')) then begin   
             write(' Q=present')   
          end else begin   
             write(' Q=notpresent')   
          end;   
          writeln;   
       end;   
   end.   
   $ set command duo   
   $ pas duo   
   $ link duo   
   $ duo 1.txt/q,2.txt,3.txt/q   
   Q=notpresent   
   1.txt Q=present   
   2.txt Q=notpresent   
   3.txt Q=present   
   $ duo/q 1.txt/q,2.txt,3.txt/q   
   Q=present   
   1.txt Q=present   
   2.txt Q=present   
   3.txt Q=present   
      
   Where:   
      2.txt Q=present   
   is not what was intended.   
      
   In general I like CLD and CLI$ concept, but I would have preferred   
   CLI$ to expose the context they use instead of having it hidden.

   Yes.
