[Info-vax] CSWS symbols

Doing some work with CSWS I've (again) been frustrated by it's hiding of 
symbols passed into a cgi script.  You can't just have a dcl script that 
does a "show symbol/all" to see everything that's available.  At least in 
1.3 that's the way it is, not so sure about later versions.  You can only 
access a symbol if you know the name, like "show symbol query_string".  So 
I'm wondering why that was done and even more how did they do it?

BTW, the alpha XP900 under my desk doesn't seem so cozy today as it was in 
the winter what with spring hurtling to summer here out west.  It is a great 
little box, but I need to move it somewhere else.

Regards,  Jim
