was able to get to a DCL prompt. However, the
following,
which I'm certain that I did before without any problems,
occurs after the following commands:
SPAWN
SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP
The SPAWN is fine - it starts a subprocess so if you
mistype anything (like your next line :-)), it's the
subprocess that gets killed on the error.
Your second line should have had the @-sign in there:
@SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP
