I'm trying to get the decnet "task=" to work from an Ultrix node
to a VMS node.

The following is the command I'm using (although I've tried every
combination of node/directory/quote marks I know):

quayle %73 > dcp - muvms3::'task=decw_server'

The following is the error I'm getting:

dcp: can't create "muvms3::task=decw_server", Unspecified access error
    File Open, filename syntax error.

My goal is to be able to (from the Ultrix node) run a .COM file on 
a VMS node that will open DECterm and application DECwindows on the 
Ultrix node.  I'm currently logging in to the VMS machine to activate
the .COM files.

The Ultrix node is a DS3100 w/DECnet installed
The VMS nodes vary from a VS3100 to a 6000-430.  All nodes have the same
result.

thanks,
