  8.         VAX VMS COMMANDS:
  9.         ================
  10.  
  11.            Once  you  get your "$" prompt, you will be able  to  type  in
  12.         hundreds of commands of course.  I will go over a few basic  ones
  13.         here:
  14.  
  15.         @                -  Execute procedure.  When you want to run  any
  16.                             DCL  batch or *.COM;* file, you must  include
  17.                             this "@" before the filename.
  18.                             EX: @LOGIN.COM;3
  19.  
  20.         ACCOUNTING       -  This will run the accounting program.  If you
  21.                             log  out of a system and you see charges  put
  22.                             on  your account for the amount of  time  you
  23.                             are on, the system is using account.  Actual-
  24.                             ly every system uses accounting somewhat, but
  25.                             it  can be made virtually invisible.  If  you
  26.                             are  desperate,  or you are  having  troubles
  27.                             with the system operators of the VAX  (SYSOPS
  28.                             from  now  on), you can use this  program  to
  29.                             your advantage.
  30.  
  31.         CREATE           -  This will create just about anything.  If you
  32.                             have a  program that you have written on your
  33.                             PC's Pascal interpreter, you can Ascii upload
  34.                             the file to the VAX using the CREATE command.
  35.                             EX: CREATE program.pas;1
  36.  
  37.         CREATE/DIR       -  This will simply create a SUB directory for
  38.                             you.  I will explain how to get around a  VAX
  39.                             in a minute.  See the SET command.
  40.                             EX: CREATE/DIR NameOfDir
  41.  
  42.         DELETE           -  Just used to delete a file or  EMPTY,  UNPRO-
  43.                             TECTED  DIRECTORY.   To delete a  file,  just
  44.                             type  "DEL filename.ext;x."  To delete a  sub
  45.                             directory,  first delete all of the files  in
  46.                             the  directory:  "DEL/LOG *.*;*"   Next,  you
  47.                             will    need   to   SET   PROTECTION:    "SET
  48.                             PROTECTION=OWNER:D dirname.DIR"  Next, delete
  49.                             the directory: "DEL dirname.DIR"
  50.                             EX: DEL DAVID.TXT;4
  51.  
  52.         DIRECTORY        -  This will show you  what files are  contained
  53.                             in  the current directory.   Adding  "/BRIEF"
  54.                             will  give  you a short  listing  and  adding
  55.                             "/FULL" will give you a full listing  includ-
  56.                             ing  security information on each file.   You
  57.                             can  shorten the command to DIR and  you  may
  58.                             use wildcards.  The "*" means anything of any
  59.                             length.  The "%" means anything one character
  60.                             length.
  61.                             EX: DIR/FULL DAVID-%%.*;%
  62.  
  63.         EDIT             -  This command will  bring up the editor.  Some
  64.                             VAX  systems use a type of editor similar  to
  65.                             MS-DOS/PC-DOS's  EDLIN.   HOWEVER,  some  VAX
  66.                             systems  use EDT/EVE editing which is a  full
  67.                             screen  editor (usually).  With this  editor,
  68.                             you  can do a lot quickly, but only  if  your
  69.                             terminal will support cursor control.  VT-100
  70.                             is very clumsy.  Try getting VT-220 when you
  71.                             use the EDT/EVE editor.
