Now the topic is up.
 Am I the only one wondering why so much documentation use the
TYPE command to activate?
 It bothers me a bit to have the TYPE command execute code.
 $ type 0"myusername mypassword"::srv.com
$ define/nolog sys$output sys$net
$ show time
$ write sys$output "Deleting all files"
$ exit
 $ type 0"myusername mypassword"::"task=srv.com"

Deleting all files
 $ type 0"myusername mypassword"::"srv.com"
$ define/nolog sys$output sys$net
$ show time
$ write sys$output "Deleting all files"
$ exit
 $ type 0"myusername mypassword"::"0=srv.com"

Deleting all files
 Inserting two characters and type becomes execute.

Interestingly, although I have seen the reference before, that is shown in the last of HELP TYPE examples
