If you don't have MPEX, you can get the same effect using a TELLOP as
the prompt, a MSG file with and INPUT cmd to get the job to suspend and
an ECHO cmd from the console to write to the msgfile. You will likely
need a file equate with ;GMULTI on the msgfile. I have some canned
command files for i/o between job/session using msgfiles if you are
interested. They should also be in a document in Kmine (ESC Knowledge
database, er, IT Resource Center) if you have access.
