FWIW and AFAIK and IIRC...

That "recycle bin" scheme will derail command procedures that expect to 
use DELETE with any qualifiers.

The algorithm used within the VMS$CHKPWD password tool was quite lame.

The MAIL$INTERNET_TRANSPORT setting hasn't been needed in a while.  
Since V6.2, maybe?  Dots found in the host name cause MAIL to select 
the SMTP transport automatically.  And if you want to change how an 
address is interpreted, you'll probably want to use MAIL$INTERNET_MODE 
and not MAIL$INTERNET_TRANSPORT.

It's easier to set the WRITESYSPARAMS to zero after changing the 
startup to OPA0:, as that eliminates the need to reset anything later.
