No, it's still PIO$GW_DFPROT.  The following comments were taken from
one of the programs in Lee Gleason's KEYS utility.  (KEYS lets you
define "process-permanent" control keys to do things like toggle
VERIFY, toggle SET WATCH FILE settings, etc.  I just tried it under
VMS v5.5-1 and it worked fine.

You can get KEYS via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu ([192.107.46.27]).
You'll need:

        [.MACRO32]LZDCMP.EXE
        [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]KEYS.BCK_Z

To get KEYS via e-mail, send the following command in the body of a
mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:
