Project Title: VMS Curriculum Modularity
Course Title: VMS For Application Users
Synopsis:
This course will fill the position currently held by
Introduction to VMS and VMS Utilities and Commands
with the major difference being that the target
audience has been more clearly and closely defined.
The course will be 3 days long, and will lead into
VMS For Advanced Application Users
Both of these courses are designed specifically for
users who are NOT going on to be System Managers,
Operators, or Programmers. Those students should take
the appropriate 5-day introductory VMS course.
Administrative and reveiw annoucements will be posted in this note.

I think that in some chapters the theory is going too far for "simple"
application users, especially writing command procedures.
Realize, the students are "simple" application users. They have to know a few
DCL-commands, creating textfiles, running command procedures, working with
directories, using help and manuals and be a secure user.
"VMS for application users"
=============================
1) In the document "ESDP Course Specification", course goals (page 5), the next
goal "Perform a simple backup of personal files" is mentioned, but I can not
find the module. Besides this goal is not necessary for a application user.
2) The sequence of the chapter should be:
1. Logging in and out of a VMS system.
2. Issuing DCL commands.
3. Creating and editing text and data files.
4. Working with files.
5. Getting HELP.
6. Making sure you are a secure user.
7. Setting up your terminal.
8. Sending messages to other users or system personnel.
3) The chapter writing a simple command procedure is too much and difficult for
a application user. So replace it to "VMS for advanced application users".
Now you create a lot of time for practice, which is very important for "simple"
application users.
4) The modules are becoming more narrative and this is a good development. Most
of the student want narrative books. This reads more easier after the course.
Most of the student also want an index in the book. I hope this is possible.
5) Is it possible to put the exercises in each module and not a the end of the
book?
Please include a lot of exercises in this course. A "simple" application user
needs a lot of exercises.
