My question for you is, did you change the OS to change the way EDIt by default works, but more important why is this now happening and how can I get into a text editor style mode?
First, I just logged in and from the SYSTEM account: $ SHOW SYMBOL E* E*DIT == "EDIT/EDT/COMMAND=SYS$LOGIN:EDTINI.EDT" This SHOULD elicit the EDT behavior you're used to seeing. Also, and this is what happens when you're using a system configured by a madman... $ SHOW LOGICAL E* (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE) (LNM$JOB_80746EA0) (LNM$GROUP_000001) (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) "EDTINI" = "SYS$MANAGER:EDTINI.EDT" THis should be: "EDTSYS" = "SYS$MANAGER:EDTINI.EDT" I manually added EDTSYS to the system logical table. Try things out now. I am assuming you're using the SYSTEM account for all you're querying about.
