If you connect to your favourite HP3000 via VT-MGR and type "bye" (without the quotes), then your session is immediately disconnected - type anything else (except a valid hello command) and you get an error message. Little things please little minds eh. Mark W. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing unusual about that it is documented and works the same on DTC connected terminals. Here is a snipped of the :help bye text. OPERATION This command terminates a session and displays the CPU time used (in seconds), connect time (in minutes), the date and time, as follows: CPU=48. CONNECT=35. FRI, MAY 4, 1992, 10:56 PM If you enter a HELLO command before logging off, MPE/iX terminates your current session and immediately initiates a new one. If you are logged onto the computer with a telephone connection and you hang up before terminating your session, MPE/iX issues a BYE command automatically. If you enter the BYE command before initiating a session on the system, no system message is displayed. This command may be issued from a session. It may not be used from a job, program, or in Break. Pressing [BREAK] has no effect on this command. Mike Berkowitz Guess? Inc.
