     The command above Mark does not seem to work on my VMS at all. I 
can get it to accept this,

att tq -F FIXED vmst  /* vmst is a rename of the Hobbyist VA.TXT 
license, tried the original name it didn't work either */

     The OS request I mount the following name,

mount /over=id _BUC$MUA0:  /* That it takes but it doesn't work */

Ha I am stumped here. I can't remember what all the $ and : mean. And 
the [] I think mean directory. The numbers after ; I remember are 
version numbers and that's what purge is for.
