(I use a different prompt for subshells.)
In VistA, you can't use the same command, so ^XUP is provided. If you just want to go through the sign in process without running an option, you can use ^XUS.
(When you think about it, no one runs init or getty from the bash prompt, either.)

If you want to invoke an option from programmer mode use ^XUP. If you want a routine to be called when you sign on (not after you go to programmer mode, use ^ZU). Finally, ^XUS is the sign on routine. What makes this confusing is that in Linux or UNIX people normally sign in using their own account and then the shell listed in /etc/passwd is started. In VistA, on the other hand, there is normally a standard user. When you first sit down and start up a session, ^ZU is called immediately (e.g., when you telnet to the box) and then it prompts you to sign in. That is the reverse of what happens in Linux where you first sign in (a task handled by getty) and then your shell is started up for you after you sign in.

Butch,
I think is is supposed to be: do ^ZU another one is d ^XUS. I have never properly figured out which one is the correct one.
