$
$ type x.com
$ ps = f$getsyi("PAGE_SIZE")
$ write sys$output "Page size: ''ps'"
$ exit
$ @x.com
Page size: 8192
$ search x.com "'" + "'"
$ write sys$output "Page size: ''ps'"
$

grep or find or other tools will work here too, when those are 
installed and available.

DCL doesn't have an equivalent to the backslash 
escape-the-next-character syntax present in some other contexts.
