I've been compiling and running some ISSCO/DISSPLA programs using the CALL REGIS(3,1) subroutine which sends the graphics output (REGIS) to my vt241 terminal. I would like to capture these regis commands in a file but our release of ISSCO subroutines does not allow this. The package does allow one to create a meta file though, but this gets you no further ahead since DISSPOP - the program to interpret the meta file - also does not include the desired feature. I've tried many experients in redirecting output including: 1. $ @comfile/out=regis.out where: comfile=$ run issco_program 2. $ DEFINE FILE.NAME SYS$OUTPUT $ RUN ISSCO_PROGRAM 3. $ DEFINE/USER FILE.NAME FOR006 All three experiments yielded the same result: the TEXT diagnostic messages were captured in the file, BUT NO REGIS COMMANDS. The one experiment that DID work, was: $SET HOST/LOG=FILE.NAME 0 which keeps a log of the entire login session. This file DID have the regis commands in it. My question is this: what does SET HOST 0 do that the other 3 methods don't? Has anyone else tried anything like this? regards, Warren
