    in my logout procedure I delete all .JOU files. But if there are none I
    get an error message that there are no .JOU files. If you see the text
    "error..." on the screen you look at it even it isn't a "real" error. Is
    there a way to suppress the error message[?]

Try:

	$ IF F$SEARCH("*.JOU;*) .NES. "" THEN DELETE *.JOU;*

(In the general case, when all else fails, a

	$ SET MESSAGE/NOTEXT/NOSEVERITY/NOIDENT/NOFACILITY

should turn off all error messages.  You can use F$ENVIRONMENT() to pick up
and save the previous message state.)
