He can read comp.os.vms, but cannot post, so you can either post followups or send email to me.) I'm having a problem with the SET HOST command. Our uVAX II (VMS 4.7) is connected to a dozen non-VMS computers, and I want to connect my VT220 terminal to any of those systems. The command $ SET HOST/DTE $TERMINAL1 works fine at the VMS level (i.e. my VT220 becomes a terminal for the remote machine). The problem is that it doesn't work from within a command (DCL) file. It exits with the message: %REM-F-NOTERM, command device is not a terminal I want to do it from DCL because I would like to put up a menu of the systems the user can connect to. Note the /DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) option - I think that this is causing the problem. (A friend of mine tried "SET HOST" (no /DTE) on his machine to another VMS machine over DECnet, and it works okay). Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!
