To quote from the DEC VAX-11 Fortran Language Reference Manual (all text 
printed in blue ink, denoting a DEC extension to Fortran-77.)

	$	Prompting: starts output at the beginning of the next line
		and supresses carraige return at the end of line

Since SYE is the VMS error log analysis program I think that they can be 
forgiven for using a DEC extension.
