There are several way to make the square brackets under VM

   a. The square brackets are part of the APL character set.
      If you are using a 3274 controller, simply generate the APL
      character set option and get the correct key caps for your
      3179 or equivalent tubes.

   b. If you have Waterloo C, follow the instructions in paragraph
      1.5.4 of the users guide (Version 1.3 dtd 31 March 1986).

   c. Use the ALTER subcommand to XEDIT to alter any chosen characters
      to the bracket symbols. The ALTER subcommand is described in
      SYSTEM PRODUCT EDITOR COMMAND and MACRO REFERENCE manual
      SC24-5221.

   d. Use the CMS SET INPUT command to translate any characters to
      the [ (X'AD') or the ] (X'BD') symbols. A complete description
      of the SET INPUT command may be found in the CMS COMMAND and
      MACRO REFERENCE manual SC19-6209.
