Hello,

I would like to know the following on the MPE iX 5.5
system that I am using - any pointers will be greatly
appreciated.

1. Clear Screen command : Is there a CLS or CLEAR
    command in MPE? I cannot find similar command.

2. Scripting Help : I came across some scripts and they
    have the parm and anyparm commands in them, but
    I cannot find any documentation on MPE scripting
   so that I can learn more of such scripting commands.
   The MPE manuals (which I just acquired) does not
   have any info on this. Any website having this info?

3. PRIV file : How do I use BUILD to create a password
    protected PRIV file?

4. What is the file that gets execute first when we login
    to an account. The file that sets the command prompt
   and the group to drop into, coz I want to change the
   command prompt upon login and also change the group
   where I drop into (the home group) to another. How to do
   this?

5. Is there a way I can put a command into a MPE machine
    such  that all acounts have access to the command? If
    so which account/group should I put it in? If I use the
    setcatalog command, then will the command then be available
    to all accounts. I only have manager user login security for
    almost all  accounts where I need the command to be executed.

6. IMPT Question : When I run a process say print a MSG file,
   and if the MSG file is empty, the print command just hangs. I
   cannot even break it. I have to open another session and kill
   the session where the print command hangs. I wonder if I can
   actually kill the print process instead of the session. If so, how
   can I see what the session is executing? SHOWJOB only shows
   the sessions, but what about if I wanna see the process that the
   session is executing and wanna kill that process only.

7. What security level is needed for traversing through all accounts
    on a MPE machine?

A lot of questions ...  I did try to find out as much as I can but
though I managed to learn much, these questions are still pending
in my list and I would greatly appreciate any pointers/tips/tricks.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Cheers!
John
