  Just an approach, but I'd assume that Windoze is passing the string as 
separate paramstr[].  I's just code it to add all of the paramstr[] into one 
string, i.e. LongFileName:= paramstr[1]+paramstr[2]+paramstr[n]
and use switches after the name for anything else (the '/' symbol)
Hope that gives an idea...
