I'm posting this response for two reasons 1) I can't respond via mail
and 2) this is a general novice type problem for people running under
VMS.

CLD files are used by the command definition utility to define the
interface between command line arguments and the CLI (command line
interpreter).  You use a .CLD file by issuing a

	"SET COMMAND filename.cld"

command.  This modifies the process' DCLTABLES.  Please note that it
only modifies for the current process level.  If you spawn off you
lose the definitions.  There are ways to fix this but they are either
messy or require that you have the appropriate privileges (BYPASS will
do).
