Sounds like a good thing to add, at least optionally. (Wonder if this could be used somehow to mess up someone who was using become...?) Thanks.

The COM file contains DELETE/SYMBOL/ALL/GLOBAL DELETE/KEY/ALL @SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN @SYS$LOGIN:LOGIN The protection on that COM file is crucial ; if someone gets ahold of it he could insert DELETE/NOCONFIRM *.*;* or worse INITIALIZE/ERASE DUA0: This is my worst nightmare ; I am going to allow access by ACL only on my system. Some other people have expressed interest in doing it more elegantly I will send them the code soon. 3 VMS_SHARE files follow. Raj
