- I'm guessing you are trying to execute these commands remotely??
- I use MacX and use the following:
-
- set display/create/trans=tcpip/node=knapke.butler.edu/screen=2
- \; run sys$system:decw$bookreader
-
- This should all be one line, the \; is a command delimeter. An IP address
- will work in place of the host name. DecWindows/Motiff is not supposed
- to support screen type 2, but it works for me. TGV tech support helped
- me figure this out.
