my sources tell me that you cannot control such things as the priority
or the IO limits for a print symbiont in the version 4 VMS.  since these
seem like typical things you'd have to diddle for something driving a
foreign IO device, i have a hard time believing it.  anyone know if it's
true?  i can't find any indication of what the limits assigned are.  are
they just the priority and limits from the job controller?  is there anyway
to control the job controller's priority and limits?

what i really want to do is use the VMS queuing mechanism for the symbionts
in a program that's doing lots of unrelated stuff.  anyone care to comment
on how possible or intellegent this is?
