Ok, well, its not that the 'SPLIT' command doesn't work, it's because I'm using VB 1.0 DOS, (And I have a good reason to do it.) for console applications... anyways, I need to determine what the user enters at the command prompt by using COMMAND$, and I need to 'split' up the COMMAND$ variable to determine what to do. For example:

netshlr -connect:127.0.0.1 -ping:1

How could I 'split' this up, keeping in mind I don't have access to the SPLIT command???
