Set up the account as captive and kick the user right into either your program or the DCL with CTRL-Y/C disabled/tapped. No? You can also have a more fancy menu using the FMS system for VAX/VMS (for extra $$, I guess).

Well, you can have something appear before the username password prompt by defining sys$announce to be either a string of text or @filename (ex. @sys$manager:prewelcome.txt) and it will display this before giving the prompts. To get rid of the prompts altogether, you can define the terminal to be an auto-login terminal with sys$manager:alfmaint.com (i think thats the name). This utility lets you define the username that this terminal will automatically use. If there is no password on the username, then the terminal will enter the account automatically. You can make it captive and create a menu system with DCL or do whatever you want in the login.com. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | Dave E Martin | DISCLAIMER: Been Cancelled | | /\ | "...between the streets of | $ opinion/mine/noUinTech | | / \ . /\ | Dallas, and the beaches of |----------------------------| | / \/ \/\/ \ | Miami ...
