VESoft also has a product called VEAudit that will allow you to type
the following within MPEX
 
 -->VEAUDIT ALTUSER TEST.@;PASS=XXX
 
That is probably why you do not see this as part of MPEX.
 
As far as redirected output from LISTUSER, I have had no problems
with the following:
 
 -->FILE X;DEV=DISC;REC=-80,16,F,ASCII;NOCCTL
 -->LISTUSER TEST.@;FORMAT=BRIEF   >*
 
There are no NULL characters at the beginning of the temp file X.
