I may be mistaken, but if you specify a command line of

	$ command Logical-1, Logical-2, ... Logical-n

then, before you read anything with CLI$whatever, these logicals are
converted into their actual meanings.  In other words, the first
thing read is the first value in the list represented by Logical-1,
and so on.

Again, I may be wrong, but my experience in general, is that you get
actual values and not symbols through CLI$* function.

Hope this helps (and is correct).
