OK, now I remember,
d ^XUS signs the user in (asking for the access code), and then asks for which menu option to launch.
d ^ZU signs the user in (asking for access code and verify code) and then launches the menu option designated as their default in their user record (in file 200)

To extend the analogy (maybe "stretch" would be a better word), in
Linux (or in this case, OS X) you can start a new shell like this

(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.)
