In addition to the Ada advice already posted, don't forget that you
will need to define your executable as a foreign command; e.g. for
executable TEST.EXE

TEST :== $disk:[directory]TEST.EXE

The dollar sign at the front is important. Then, you should be able to
execute TEST as a verb:

$ TEST stuff

and read/parse "stuff" successfully.

You can also use the DEFINE/VERB command (I think that's right, anyway;
I always use the first option presented).
