   Could some kind soul please explain the significance of the VMS sysgen parameter
WINDOW_SYSTEM?  I'm running VMS 5.4.  SYSGEN says it is dynamic.  TFM says it "loads"
the appropriate window system (implies boot time to me), and mentions VAX workstations
specifically.  My VAX is a 6430.  WINDOW_SYSTEM is currently set to 0, which is not
documented.  Please enlighten me.  Thanks,   b.
