I would like to initiate a remote session over decnet (vax to vax) with
the set host xxx command, and then disconnect or deattach leaving the
session going and ready to be reconnected to.  (By "going" I mean hanging
around, not actually executing.)  I can't find out how to set the remote
terminal stuff so that disconnect works and I can't deattach since ^Y out
of the set host always terminates the connection.  Can someone help?

OK:  My main goal is to leave the remote session logged in with all my
environment, etc., and so I don't have to be running my enormous login.com
each time I log in remotely.  The way we have our vaxen configured the
remote system is dedicated to batch jobs and I log in many many times a
day (even many many times an hour) to the remote machine.

Thank you in advance -- Dave Bakin (Bakin -at mit-multics)
