As a cost-cutting and environment-friendly procedure, we have written a
small command file which displays the word "Save Enery, turn off
terminal after work", highlighted.
It works fine as long as the user log out from DCL by typing "$LOGOUT".
However, for some captive users or advanced users, they just type LO in
ALL-IN-1. I have modified form DEFAULT so that it looks like this:
;;LO;;
COMMAND SYS$MANAGER:LOGOUT\BYE
The problem is that BYE clears the screen so that the message will stay
in the screen for less than a second.
Do anyone know a way to get around this?
Regards,
Adam.

Change the ;;LO;; definition to
WAIT Save Energy, turn off terminal after work \ BYE
The message will be displayed and the user will have to hit return
before BYE is called.
Or call a script that includes a CLEAR, .BOX directive, followed by
.WAIT and then BYE.

| 162.3 | Great! I'll go for .PAUSE | HGOVC::WONGKALOK | Thu Mar 05 1992 01:38 | 6 | |
You guys are great! They are the solutions I've been looking for.
Both are good but I prefer the .PAUSE solution because it does not
require the user to hit return.
Thanks,
Adam.
