Normally you cannot "Run" a program which has been written for a CLD file
any more than you can "Run" the images in sys$system written to be driven
by command table commands.

First edit the VERB.CLD and make sure that the image clause points to the
right place.  Then type "SET COMMAND VERB"  then try commands like:

$ VERB IF

and

$ VERB SHOW

I write all my programs written to be invoked by DCLTABLES so that they CAN
be run from the run command or as a foreign command by reparsing the command
internally before calling the CLI routines, but most people don't.  I've
only seen DEC do this in a few instances.
