[Info-vax] CSWS symbols

[jo jimbo]

I tried that.  Show symbol remote_user works, the others don't.  Output from 
my
cgi script is:

$ show symbol remote_user
  REMOTE_USER = "jgessling"
$ show sym/local/all
  P1 = ""
  P2 = ""
  P3 = ""
  P4 = ""
  P5 = ""
  P6 = ""
  P7 = ""
  P8 = ""
$ show sym/global/all
  $RESTART == "FALSE"
  $SEVERITY == "1"
  $STATUS == "%X00030001"
  APACHE$DCL_CMD == "@APACHE$COMMON:[PROTECTED-BIN]TEST.COM"

Still confused.

Jim
