thanks to all who responded - as far as the forgetting to declare sys$wake ,
or use the correct include statement, boy do I feel dumb ('specially when I
remembered to declare pid and status.....) 

Well I did that and what do you know, it returned an error message  that
I didn't have enough arguments....hmmmmm.... so I did a little empirical
testing:

	sys$wake()		does not work
	sys$wake(,)		does work
	sys$wake(pid)		does not work
	sys$wake(pid,)		does work....

hmmmm....  will this is totally consistent with the call/function having
two required parameters, I just checked the uVMS Programming Support Manual
and the VMS mini-reference and they both insist that sys$wake has two
OPTIONAL arguments (and that they are independent).

score;		1 mistake by me, 1 by Digital....
