| 16.1 | Draft ready for review | SUPER::ROUNDS | Kristin Rounds, DTN 381-1066 | Wed Dec 19 1990 09:42 | 8 | 
|  | A draft of this module is available for review in:
	SUPER::ES$REVIEW:[RA0293]RA0293_CHAP_7_PROFILE.PS
Question:  
	Does passing parameters (P1-P8) belong in a course of this level, 
	or should it be in the more advanced command procedures course?

    Kristin;
      
    Yes, a "brief" discussion of P1-P8 belongs here.  Many applications are
    started via command procedures with parameters. The details an complex
    examples belong in a more advanced course.

| 16.3 | New chapter | SUPER::ROUNDS | Kristin Rounds, DTN 381-1066 | Tue Apr 30 1991 07:00 | 16 | 
|  | This chapter has been reduced to the material appropriate for creating
a LOGIN.COM file.  Chapter 9 is now called "Customizing Your Working
Environment", and it contains the following topics:
	1 - Basic information on logical names
	2 - Symbols, only enough to create command synonyms
	3 - Defining keys
	4 - Basic information on command procedures, so the student
	    can create a LOGIN.COM
This chapter will be available on May 2:

| 16.4 | P1 - P8 | DLO10::SAYERS |  | Mon May 06 1991 16:57 | 26 | 
|  |     I believe that P1 - P8 belongs here also.
    
    I currently send my U&C I (and U&C II students also) a command
    procedure that I have named PARAMS.COM
    
    PARAMS.COM
    $SHOW SYMBOL/LOCAL/ALL
    $EXIT
    
    Then I have them execture this as:
    $ @PARAMS
    and then
    $ @PARAMS TODAY IS A PRETTY DAY. IT IS SUNNY.
    
    I demonstrate to them how each word is passed in as a parameter.
    Since there are eight words (and I can change them with the
    ever-changing Texas weather {smile}, the students get a good
    start at understanding command procedures.  
    
    What I would like to see:  A brief explanation of the 32 command
    levels in the student guide without having to refer them to the
    VMS General Users Manual.
    
    Just my thoughts,
    
    Dee
