Subject: program name under CP/M

Does there exist a standard way to determine the name of the current program
from within a program under CP/M PLUS?

For example, if my program is in file TEST.COM on drive b, does there exist a
CALL 5 or a specific address where I can find the string B:TEST.COM? The
FCB-Format would be acceptable, too.

And if I rename the program (without changing it), say to FOO.BAR, then I would
like to get the string B:FOO.BAR in the program.

I couldn't find a CALL 5 entry, nor do the addresses 0H - 0FFH contain that
information on my CP/M PLUS machine. :-|

But there *must* be a way to determine it, because the CCP displays the last
command (program) executed when I type Control-W. Where is the pointer to that
text?

Any ideas?
