Who here does any of those except for "CD"? I use TO, DIR, and DEL.

I only do that for home-brewed command procedures with really long
names.

Example:

 ENS == "EXTRACT-NODE-STARTUP.COM"

Otherwise, I use the first few letters if possible.

So Bill, what would you do on a Stratus system running VOS?

Here are some sample commands:

change_current_dir

display_current_module (prelogin)       list_modules (prelogin)
display_date_time (prelogin)            list_systems (prelogin)
display_line (prelogin)                 login (prelogin)

delete_library_path

display_system_usage

create_deleted_record_index
