My VOC doesn't have these entries you mention...nor does the UV Account VOC
(always a good place to check for such things - or the NEWACC file).

However, looks like your application once resided on a Prime Computer, under
PRIMOS and using Prime INFORMATION.

L and LD are 'list directory' PRIMOS operating system commands. The VOC
entry you showed was how you executed the commands from Prime INFORMATION
PERFORM prompt (TCL). I believe field 3 "PR" indicated a PRIMOS command
under PI.

What you're seeing is  a side-effect, rather than a 'feature' of UV TCL.

Of course, there is no reason why you can clone 'L' from 'CLEARSELECT'. ;-)

Subject: [UV] Ever wondered how something works...


One day, I stumbled across an interesting behavior; at TCL, if I type 'L',
it results in my current SELECT list being cleared. You get an error
message, but it does not seem to hurt anything. This is great, because I
hate typing in CLEARSELECT.

But ever since, I've been wondering what it's really doing. Turns out that
'L' is one of only two similar VOC entries, the other being 'LD'. It looks
like this:

0001: V
0002: L
0003: PR

The error message you get reads:

  Unable to create new process.  Will try again.
  Create Process failed (2).

This is on NT. IIRC, on unix the message is different. Anybody know what
this is doing, or if it is safe?
