Try this on the product tag  --
 
          :product.userabc  191  <* a-z M>

Hello.  I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish a VMLINK function using USERPROD NAMES
I want to be able to VMLINK to a minidisk with read/write functionallity.
I would normally type:  VMLINK  userabc 191  <*  a-z>  (write
and everything works.  When I try to do this in the USERPROD  NAMES file, in the following format:

:nick.user191 :title.USERABC  191 disk accessed  
             :product.userabc  191  <* a-z> (write

I type:  VMLINK  USER191  
The link is made but it will not link as R/W  just R/O
I've tried a number of different combinations with the entry in USERPROD  NAMES  with no succes.
What is the secret to making this work or can it be done?

Thanks,
Steve G.
