This newfangled version of MMS obviously has some bugs, but it also
apparently observes a process-wide setting for how shell commands are
parsed and does the same thing the shell does. Here's what happens
by default:
$ type descrip.mms
foo :
@ write sys$output "ok"
! end of descrip.mms
$ set process/parse=traditional
$ mms foo
%MMS-F-BADTARG, Specified target (FOO) does not exist in the description file.
But if you turn on extended parsing, it will preserve the case of
command-line arguments:
$ set process/parse=extended
$ mms foo
ok
$
You can add the C<$ set process/parse=extended> line to your
login.com file and it will run automatically whenever you log in.
