Use the RCL command ACCEPT to prompt the user for the password into a
variable, and then transmit that variable for the password.  For
example,
    ACCEPT v0 until full limit 8 noecho
    TRANSMIT "HELLO USER/$0.SGAII^M"

If you want to get back to the DOS prompt, I presume that you will be
exiting Reflection, so use the RCL command EXIT or HARDEXIT.  You can
optionally add an errorlevel.  The manual says that EXIT and HARDEXIT
do not close the connection to the HP3000 so either add a command
SET DISCONNECT-ON-EXIT YES
or add commands to close the connection.

Hope this answers your questions.  I presume that you don't have
access to a Reflection manual to look these up?  You can also get
help by going to the Reflection command line (Alt-Y I think) and
typing HELP, or HELP <keyword>, to get online help.
