Add support for 'truename'
mateuszviste can you explain what it does exactly, what arguments it supports etc? It is not present in the MS-DOS help and truename /? yields only an error message.

Doin' some copy & paste work...
From https://amb.osdn.io/phpamb.php?fname=lib/fdhelpen.amb&f=truename.ama
Syntax:
TRUENAME [drive][path][filename]
TRUENAME [/?]
drive The drive letter, e.g. C:
path The directory, e.g. \example\
filename The file, e.g. test.txt
From https://www.datalight.com/assets/files/ROM-DOS_Users_Guide.pdf
Syntax TRUENAME [path |% environmentvariable%]
From https://www.palmtoppaper.com/ptphtml/43/43c00023.htm
The syntax for the command is TRUENAME filename or TRUENAME directory.
From https://www.robvanderwoude.com/truename.php
Syntax TRUENAME [drive:][\path\][filename] drive:\path\filename Specifies the drive, directory and/or file name of which the true name is to be displayed. Default is the current drive and directory. The file name does not necessarily have to exist. TRUENAME will display "true" file names even if the files do not actually exist.
From http://thesystemmaster.com/dos7/z-truename.html
Syntax: To display the full path (in short file name form) of a drive created with SUBST: TRUENAME path To display the full path (in short file name form) of the current directory of the current drive: TRUENAME To display a file and/or path (in short file name form) assigned to an environmental variable using SET: TRUENAME %envirovariable%

mateuszviste so no switches, and the only argument is a string that is converted to a (possibly non-existing) path.
Implemented in revision 1045. I wonder what the use case for this command is.

I noticed TRUENAME help screen is probably inaccurate, because even the filename is optional. So, it should be in []?

I successfully built a new SvarCOM binary to test this on my system and I think, it does its job fine. :-)
Apropos: Is there a way to tell OW not to display these messages on every run:
Open Watcom Make Version 1.9 Portions Copyright (c) 1988-2002 Sybase, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Source code is available under the Sybase Open Watcom Public License. See http://www.openwatcom.org/ for details.No, '-s silent mode' is not the solution.
Maybe some env var? Before I dig out my hex-editor and replace the initial 'O' with 0x00...
Regarding the use case:

Fix in commit 1051.
mateuszviste about for: problem here is the separator. MSDOS help says that arguments are space separated, and that's what svarcom supports... but apparently ";" works in MSDOS as well. Feel free to report it through a separate issue, providing the list of separators that are accepted by MSDOS (I can't find this information easily)

New ticket: FOR %%A IN () broken
Enhancement became part of SvarCOM version 2022.3.
This is an undocumented command since MS-DOS 4.0.
