A VMS process gets 1 or more logical name tables and 1 or more symbol tables. symbols in VMS are like verbs. logical names are like nouns. SYS$COMMAND is an alias for your terminal, like stdout in (*)NIX. There is a defined heirarchy of tables, like the heirarchy of a (*)NIX file system. SOME of the logical names are no more than global variables like "errno". SYS$STATUS can be looked at after a DCL ( DEC command language ) operation to see if it succeeded. Can't remember more right now, would have to look at the proverbial "five-foot shelf of documentation" or the VMS HELP files. Bob
