Hi,

      I tried SET WATCH/CLASS=ALL FILE  on my uVAX II (VMS 4.5),
and I got "%SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV, no privilege for attempted operation"
What privilege(s) do I need?  I could do a "SET PROC/PRIV=ALL", but
that seemed clumsy.  Also, could the 'watching' being done interfere
with other system functions?  For example, If I watch a mailbox file
will ALL-IN-ONE complain that the file is locked?  Maybe DEC
discovered just such a problem and stopped supporting "set watch".

              Thanks in advance!
