My question is: How do you write to this mailbox? I want to set up a mailbox for a spawned process to send it DCL commands from a Pascal or C program, but can't find any LIB$ routines to do that. (I presume one cannot treat a mailbox like a file and useor to write to it.) Thank you for your help. Rahul Mangaldas.
