Boy, have I gotten into trouble with the 'I've got to know'.
Better to note that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing'...

Actually, while this I think this was still true on his release (4.4), newer
releases support the "ON rdev/ldev" option on XAUTOLOG, so you *can*
fire up an ID on a terminal.
But my real purpose for writing this is to note
that Phillip's question
really isn't a newbie question -- a newbie wouldn't worry about an
unknown ID, as (s)he would be too afraid to touch anything. He gets full marks
for being a Real Sysprog and saying "It's on my system, I need to know
what it does, damnit!"
And as usual, this list gets full points for engaging several millennia of VM
experience to throw out breadcrumbs until the answer was found, without a
single snarky remark. Would that other lists (mumble*ibm-main*mumble) were so
mature and professional...!
