It's in there somewhere - the code does work for me ;)
You could work out from the Task structure just where the offset $B0 is...
Anyway I have added a saftey check (just as you have in the "from CLI" part
in case it fails.
This is always a good idea for any routine like this.

*mytask = FindTask_(0)
If *mytask
Program$ = Peek$(Peek.l(*mytask+$B0)+4) ;<---
EndIf
