POKE modifies the privileges of another process that currently exists on 
	the system.  CMKRNL privilege is required.  Privileges  cannot be
	modified with POKE for your own process, the NULL process or the
	SWAPPER process.

To run POKE - invoke by the DCL command POKE.

 Format:

	POKE/ID=[process ID]/PRIVILEGES=[specified privileges]

Qualifiers:	(may be abbreviated to first four characters)
	
	/ID=[process ID]

	    Specifies the process ID of the process to be modified.  It must 
	    be a current process, and not the NULL, SWAPPER, or parent 
	    processes.

	/PRIVILEGES=[any privileges on the system]

	    Able to give any combination of privileges or give all of them 
	    at once (e.g. PRIV=ALL-to give all, or PRIV=(OPER,NOSYSNAM,CMKRNL)-
	    to give or take specific privileges.)

	/NOPRIVILEGES
	
	    Able to take away all privileges of that process.
