Just had my latest battle with VMS DCL.  Anyone have any slick ways to the
following....

   use variables that may have "" in them.  Try making a DCL that
   copies a file to the terminal.  Easy huh?  Try putting some lines
   with "" and other junk in the file!

   determine if a logical name is defined?  Handy in cleanup routines
   to determine if files are open.

Any suggestions appreciated.
