ParamCount Returns Number of Parameters on Command Line
ParamCount : Integer; [TP]
Returns the number of parameters on the command line when the program
was executed. If running within Turbo Pascal, the command line can be
set with the Parameters command within the compiler Options menu. If
running from the MS-DOS prompt, the command line consists of any text
following the name of the file being executed.
Note: Tabs and spaces are parameter separators. Redirection
and Piping are handled by the operating system and
this information is not passed to the program.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
{ Display the command line parameters one at a time }
for I := 1 to ParamCount do
Writeln (ParamStr(I));
