I have a question about using the "queue" feature inside a macro.  We 
currently have a Bridge Communications ethernet LAN that consists of 
CS/100's, CS/1's, and NCR towers and a VAX 11-785.  I would like to be 
able to use macros to allow the users to connect to the VAX, but I cannot
use macros unless the queue feature is allowed inside a macro.  Since 
the VAX is very crowded, the users are using the following statement to
connect:  "c VAX q"

My question is, can I put this statement in a macro without adversely
affecting the server or the rest of the network?  I have tried it, and
it seems to work, but I am not convinced that the "q" will not cause
something bad to happen when there are about 25-30 people in the "queue".
The macro would look like this:
		def VAX=(
		echo "message........\r"
		c vax q
		)

Thanks for your help,
