Full process listing through shell()

I'm trying to get a listing of all the processes in OS X that are running by
using "ps -x". In the Terminal, the paths that are displayed under the
"COMMAND" heading are as long as will fit in the width of the Terminal, but
when I do:

  put shell("ps -x")

I get a truncated listing (about 80 chars). Any way I can get the full
listing through shell? Some command-line tweak?

Thanks for any help that can be provided,
