=Why not just stick the SET COMMAND line in your LOGIN.COM?

Maybe because a SPAWNed subprocess doesn't execute LOGIN.COM, by default?

Disclaimer:  Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS.  That's what I get paid for.  My
understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
