This has been discussed on the list at least twice in the last year
(October 2000 and June 2001) but as a newcomer, that wouldn't be
obvious.  The solution I think best is an "OPTION LOGON" UDC, implemented
at the system, account or user level depending on what scope meets your
needs best.  I found one of the recent messages on the topic (a system-wide
logon UDC example by Jeff Vance) in the archives at:

That should be adaptable to whatever you need to do.

P.S.  Since you're new to MPE, I'll presume to point out a detail which may
not be initially obvious:  Multiple UDC files and multiple commands in a
UDC file can be enabled at each of the system, account and user
levels...  *BUT* only the *first* UDC command marked "OPTION LOGON" at each
level is executed automagically at logon (in order of system, account and
finally user).
