Thank you very much for the response. I want to use the DCL prompt in
a (pascal!) program which is an extension of the DCL recall command.

When you write           $ Recall 3
you get                  $ <some string>


I want to be able to do the same as RECALL.... :-)

I have called my command RETRIEVE, it is based upon an article in
VAX-PROFFESIONAL....

I would appriciate if anyone knows how get the promt in *pascal*!
The RETRIEVE command is installed at our site, and works ok.
