Andrew,
 
The exact services that you are requesting are provided by the 
library routines/system services:
 
        SYS$TRNLNM           Translate Logical Name (get value)
        LIB$DELETE_LOGICAL   Delete Logical Name
        LIB$SET_LOGICAL      Assign value to Logical Name
 
These routines are full described in the online HELP text as well 
as in TFMs. I refer all readers to the grey wall and their 
screens for the gory details.
 
I hope that the above information is helpful. If I can be of 
further assistance, please send me an Email.
 
- Bob
