   Sorry to bother with such a trivial query; it comes from above.
We have a utility area called sys$utility, whit very little there
except directory files to various utilities, and a generic *utility.com*
file.  I've been asked why it wasn't called PUB: like our DECsystem-10
(and copied by our CYBERS running NOS; they use /UN=PUB).  What do most
of you call your generic utility area?
   2nd; is there a *good* technique for adding help files for such items
as non-command thingies (for example *help terminals* for a list of local
terminal types.  I note (I think) that DEC does not help in this matter;
I would kile NOT to edit DEC help files due to future upgrades.
   Thanks for the assistance.
