If you are up to using the OS commands, I think it is possible.
There is an option in the OS ReadArgs_ command that allows using a fixed
buffer-size for the arguments, which is probably what the Blitz command is
doing.
So, once this buffer is filled, that's all you get...
But you can also let the OS allocate the needed buffers as it goes, so I
think you could get any number of arguments that way (if there is enough
free Ram)
See the AutoDocs for the information.
Later...
