Greetings,

  Is there a (preferably User mode) method to find out what command invoked a
given program (not Posix)?  Under Un*x, a program can exist under multiple
names and can act differently depending on which name was used to invoke it
(witness gzip, gunzip, gzcat).  Is there a way to find out that same
information for, say, a Pascal/iX program?  (I've already checked PROCINFO,
HPMYFILE and HPMYPROGRAM, all of which give the actual file name, not the
name used)

TIA,
Ted
