VAR (*CONST*) Count: CARDINAL;

 Parameters are indexed from 0 (the command name) to Count-1. 

PROCEDURE Get(n: CARDINAL): TEXT;

 Return the parameter with index n.  It is a checked runtime error
   if n >= Count.

   use by the SRC Modula-3 runtime.  They are not included in the
   value of Count or in the sequence indexed by Get.
