Hi Don,

    I've no further comments on Kevins reply. I would have written
the same.

Hi Ian,

   we use SYS$FLUSH since revision 3.x of VMS. It's actually a
   RMS service and not a system service routine. It is described in:

   VMS 2.x: RMS Reference Manual Page 11-9 ff.
   VMS 3.x: RMS Reference Manual Page 12-1 ff.
   VMS 4.x: RMS Reference Manual Page 68 ff.

Since I'm using FORTRAN for my system-programming, I've to use the
SYS$FLUSH subroutine call instead of the $FLUSH RMS-Macro.
