[PD] command - value parsing

[David N G McCallum]

	I don't know enough about the system to explain why you're getting
"list" prepending your output. But you could thwart that by following the
"pack" with a message box of "$2 $3" or "route list" which would chop that
pesky "list" off of your output.
