Any reason why the desk calculator program, dc, doesn't accept the tab character? (EUNICE BSD Version 4.3 on VAX-11/785 VMS) One gets the message "11 is unimplemented".

Obviously this key isn't bound to a function in dc, as a quick scan of the man page confirms. So your tab is interpreted as a command character (not as white space) but there's no command bound to it. Does this answer your question? Leo. B.T.W. What does the VMS do in 'VAX-11/785 VMS' ??? Two captains on that ship?
