I can only guess at what you're trying to do.  Seems like you want to use 
"noparsing" and "limitparsing" flags.  I have an AIM client and it has an 
im command which takes two arguments.  The first is the name of the person 
i'm im'ming and the second is the message to send them.  The command 
syntax is like this:

commands_dict["im"] = (writeim_cmd, "name input", "noparsing limitparsing=1")

writeim_cmd is the function that does the work.
"name" and "input" are the two arguments that get created.
"noparsing" tells Lyntin not to parse it for variables and all that.
"limitparsing" tells Lyntin to stop looking for arguments at the second 
item--everything after the first argument becomes part of input.

At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.  I might be a bit off--I 
wrote it years ago.
