This is rather vague.  The TPU primitives for such an operation are
create_process(), send(), and send_eof().  If you'd been more specific about
what you wanted, I might've been able to post an example for you.

You can start by reading the TPU manual, or by issuing the command:
	<DO>HELP TPU<RET>
from within EVE.

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

hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
