--------------------------------

        I am setting up a mailbox channel on a device using
LIB$ASN_WTH_MBX, which creates a mailbox for the specified device and
returns the created mailbox's channel number.

        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 use  or 
to write to it.)

        Thank you for your help.
