[Mmmmm.... ASCII (munch) (munch) :-) ]


Situation:
	This is the first major(?) script that I have written (we started
	using VMS this semester).  I have a script that does the following
	BACKUP command:

$ BACKUP/REWIND/IMAGE/BUFFER_COUNT=5/VERIFY MA$DUA0: -
	MA$MUB0:'DATE.BCK/SAVE_SET

Problem:
	My problem is that after either backup is done, the tape does not
	rewind itself and the statements in the COM file following the
	backup command are never executed.

	This means that in order to do both backups, I have to run the
	script twice.

Question:
	Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

Script follows...

$	! THIS SCRIPT DOES A BACKUP OF BOTH DUA0: AND DUA1: TO
$	! MAGTAPE ON MUB0:.
