This is documented in [U].
Consider the simplest kind of case:
program myprog
args a b c
...
end
myprog 1 2 3
will result in 1 being mapped to `a', 2 to `b', 3 to `c'.
However, any program you want to have -if- functionality
should be set up using -syntax-. It's not impossible
otherwise, but you'd be ill-advised to do it otherwise.
