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