Jon, If the task isn't installed (INS $BRU for example) you have to use run. If the task has been installed, you don't. I believe it is the same in RSX-11M, at least from my limited experience with it.
So for example, I modified my TSTBLD.CMD to test if my task has been installed in the beginning, and if so remove it. Then at the end I do INS TEST and since I have TASK=...TST in the TKB file, it becomes accessible just as TST, no run needed anymore. - Peter On Thu, Sep 3, 2026 at 11:33 AM Jon Elson via cctalk <[email protected]> wrote: > On 9/2/26 21:40, Chris Elmquist via cctalk wrote: > > Do you need to, > > run test.tsk > > as opposed to, > > run test > > ? > > > > What if you “run foo” and foo is nowhere to be found, does it complain > or just silently return to the prompt? > > > > I haven’t been on RSX since about 1981 so be gentle HA HA > > > I have never used RSX-11M+, but used RSX-11M for a number of > years.
