perhaps you should seperate the data in the AppVar with zero's? then you could use the length( command to see how long the nam is, and then add that to a pointer to the current program-name. here is some code which should do it:
.READPRGS

GetCalc("apvrDATA")->D->P             .get the pointer to the appvar DATA
"prgm"->Str0ZZ                        .initialize Str0ZZ

While P<{D-2}rr-9                     .check for reaching the end of the AppVar
length(P)->L                          .store the length of the string at P to L, because it will be used more than once
Copy(P,Str0ZZ,L)                      .annex data at current position to Str0ZZ
P+L+1->P                              .add the length of the string at P to P to move P to the start of the next string
.Code to do whatever you want with the program...
End


this code is not tested, use at your own risk

I don't know wheter Str0ZZ should be Str09 or not, because I thought only Str00 till Str99 were supported, but I'm not sure about that.

ouch! forgot about the Zeros( 8 ) or det( 8 ) part

It's supported.  Axe supports names up to three chars now.

nice to know! haven't heard/seen it anywhere, but that's my bad
the -12 should be -9, but that I've already changed.

EDIT: lol! i noticed your space between the 8 and the ), but didn't see why, but now I see

8 and ) stuck together turns into the emoticon. That's unless you disable smileys on your post (or use [ CODE ]), though.

thanks all.

Hey, LordConiupter. Actually the creation of the appvar is being handled by KermM in inline asm. The format of the appvar will length-prepended. For example:


Edit:

I spoke to Kerm Martian. Assume the appvar holds only the name of the program AAA. The data will appear as:

03414141

Where 03 tells you that you are taking the next 3 bytes and 414141 is the three byte representation for AAA.

And so on for every program in the appvar.
