  @var{cmdline} should point to the command-line arguments to be passed to
! the program.  A command line up to 126 characters long can be formatted
! exactly like the command tail DOS passes to programs: the first byte gives
! the length of the command tail, the tail itself begins with the second byte,
! and the tail is terminated by a CR character (decimal code 13); the length
! byte does not include the CR.  Longer command lines require a different
! format: the first byte is 255, the command-line starting with the second byte
! which is terminated by a NUL character (decimal code 0).  Regardless of the
! method used, the command-line arguments should look as if they were to be
! passed to the library function @code{system}.  In particular, all special
! characters like wildcards and whitespace should be quoted as if they were
! typed at the DOS prompt.
