The address your are referring to (the address of the BDOS-7FEH, where
the BDOS entry point is obtained from locations 6 and 7) is an internal
command line buffer used by the CP/M 2.2 CCP.  Some commercial programs
and some older CP/M 2.2 PD programs used to stuff command lines they wanted
to execute here and then enter the CCP in the proper fashion to have it
execute them.  This buffer does contain a command line verb,
but there is also an internal pointer that was set before the command line
was interpreted to tell the CCP where to begin processing.  The command
line does not have to begin at the first byte of this buffer.  I think
you are coming close, tho.
