177.0. "CDU - "prefix CLI$K_FOO_"" by VAXUUM::DYER () Tue Nov 26 1985 15:21

	    I keep coming across .CLD files with stuff like this inside:

				prefix CLI$K_FOO_

	What is this prefix?  I know it's been around since V3.  It's
	never been documented, either.
	    Well, hackers?

	It's used by utilities that parse DCL commands by direct DCL callbacks. (Not CLI$DCL_PARSE). I remember under V3, using my CLEXTRACT hack to extract the EDIT verb, editing it to add edit/TPU, and then adding it back. This broke a few things, like TDMS's FDU edit command, DTR's edit command, etc. Never quite figgered out why they broke, but adding the 'PREFIX CLI$K_EDIT_' fixed it. -Rick
