There has been a lot of discussion about having the prompt contain the spec of the current default. Obviously having it in the prompt reduces the required keystrokes. But it eats up a lot of your com- mand line. Some don't change if you do a set default. Others that do require a DCL program which gets a bit involved. I'd like to offer my suggestion. In your login.com add the following commands LITDEF :== "DEFAULT" PWD :== "WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$ENV(LITDEF)" DEFINE/KEY PF4 PWD/TERMINATE I chose PF4 on my vt100, but you may use whatever key works for you. In the above example I just press PF4 and bingo ! I see my default. Chris Tenaglia Astronautics Corporation of America 4115 N. Teutonia Avenue Milwaukee, Wi 53209 USA (414) 447-8200 X-450
