I finally found out how to do Unix-like script under VMS!  This
keeps a log file of your terminal session, which is frequently useful.
All you have to do (on a VMS 4.x system with DECnet) is a:

$ SET HOST 0/LOG=name_of_the_log_file

What this does is spawn a DECnet login to your host, and requires you to
login again (note: you will be "logged in" twice to your host).  When you
log out, you will be returned to your original login process, and the 
terminal log file is closed.
