I'm trying to figure out how to start up a window (probably within DECW$LOGIN.COM) that will enable itself as an operator terminal and sit there receiving OPCOM messages and allow me to enter OPCOM commands in it. At first, I thought CREATE/TERMINAL/DETACHED was it but I can't specify a command line using /DETACHED. So I tried /INPUT but that executes the commands in the input file and then sits there without issuing a DCL prompt and just loops accumulating lots of CPU time. In a nutshell I'd like to automatically start a window and issue the REPLY/ENABLE command in it and have it sit there at the DCL prompt so if a tape mount message comes in I can click on that window and do the REPLY/TO stuff. Possible? -Glenn- P.S.: I couldn't find any note titles that might discuss this type of thing.

Hi Glenn,
the way I run arbitrary commands, is to set the process name on the
CREATE/TERMINAL command. At the end of my login.com, I have:
$ xlogin = f$search("[.login]"+f$getjpi(0,"prcnam")+".com")
$ if xlogin.nes."" then @'xlogin'
which will execute a <process-name>.COM file (if it exists) before exiting
to DCL.
Paul.
