Thanks, Glenn

Hmm ... In that case it's a bug and I'll report it to IBM as such.

The syntax entry for HELP .S says ".S name [start [end]]"
Note that it's "name" not "[name]" so that name is a mandatory input.
The command parser should therefore not accept no "name".

But I won't be holding my breath for it to be fixed!


Regards


Mike

Subject: Re: [U2] Unclassified:[UV] How are the TCL "dot commands"
implemented?

I don't believe you can do this.   The "dot" commands are actually 
implemented WITHIN the command line parser which you don't have access
to and there isn't any way to turn it off.  You could set the history
stack to have only a single entry (uvconfig HISTSTK) but it sounds like
you want 
them to use the history stack, but not save.   As I said, it's not
possible.
