- Here's a "NEW_MAIL.COM" for ya:
-
- $
- $ MAIL
- $
-
- In this case MAIL is taking its input from the command procedure and, not
- finding any, exits after printing your desired message. You should investigate
- the logicals SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT and SYS$COMMAND (and SYS$ERROR for
- completeness) in the manuals to understand how DCL works like this.
