From: Provan@LLL-MFE.ARPA We were puzzled for an hour or so today about why some terminal input wasn't reacting asynchronously until we read the fine print under RAB$V_ASY which says "it is ignored for process permanent files." Can someone explain why this would be? We plan to get around it by translating Sys$Input and using the translation to open the terminal (or whatever it happens to be). Is this going to work? Is there a simpler way, like an ansynchronous-even-for- process-permanent-files bit?
