- You don't have to do that unless you've previously defined
- LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX. The default is show by:
- $ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=*_DIRECTORY LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX
- "LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX" = "LNM$JOB" (LNM$SYSTEM_DIRECTORY)
- And, since the person who asked the question was having trouble with
- communicating between processes in two different JOBs via mailboxes, this
- wouldn't do any good anyway.

- One would hope that someone who has as little understanding of mailboxes as the
- person who asked the question doesn't have PRMMBX priv.
