Apparently, there is no way to tell $CREPRC to set the created process
to /DUMP (it must be there somewhere, because RUN/DET/DUMP works, but
it's not documented). A workaround is to let the created process do it:
Either (when running with DCL) do a SET PROCESS/DUMP, or call a small
routine in kernel mode to set the bit in the process status. I can
supply you with the code for that, if you want. This assumes you have
CMKRNL privilege, but as it's only required for debugging the program,
that shouldn't be a problem.
