:How to use the online documentation on cd-rom in open VMS?

    If you are on an X Windows-capable workstation, issue the DCL command:

	$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$BOOKREADER

    The RUN command should bring up a sample library, and this sample
    library -- the library is stored in SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$BOOK] on most
    systems -- contains a book entitled _Using Bookreader_.  Read this.

    A `SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=nodename' command might also be needed,
    if you are not logged directly into the workstation.  This command
    points the X software at the apprpriate X display.  This command
    also requires you enable access from the user and node that is
    running DECW$BOOKREADER -- one enables this access via the local
    X Windows workstation's SECURITY menu.

    --

    Here is a slightly more complex example; it assumes the VAXDOCDEC96%
    documentation CD-ROMs are loaded into the specified set of CD-ROM
    drives named <cdrom%:> -- you must insert the name(s) of the CD-ROM
    drive(s) in use locally.  See _Using Bookreader_ for details...
