From within my program I would like to determine if a logical has been
defined.  When I know the exact name for the logical SYS$TRNLOG works
just fine.   Is there another function or a technique which could be used
to allow wildcards in the search name?  What I have in mind is similar to
a DCL command such as:

	show logical sys$*

where the '*' wildcard gets expanded by the show command.
Repetitive calls to a function, similar to searching directories, would
be OK. Each call could return the next logical found.

Thanks for any assistance.
