To VMS workstation experts!

Anyone out there know how to start new terminal sessions
(on a DEC VaxStation running VMS4.6) from a running program
be it a .COM file or a FORTRAN executable? 

I can find the call used in the workstation menu software from file
SYS$MANAGER:UISBG.DAT

   CHOICE "Create new vt220 window" -
      /ROUTINE = UISBG$AUTOLOGIN.TERMINAL - 
      /IMAGE = SYS$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT.EXE - 
      /TERMINAL = WT

Does anyone know how to execute these calls from a .COM file
or FORTRAN?  I'd like to automatically start several windows
and execute something within each window.
Replying directly via email would be appreciated.

Thanks.
