Thanks, I will read that. But how do I enter the reply

BACKUP program is hogging the console? Is there a VMS equivalent to the

There are several:
$ submit /queue=sys$batch /noprint
foo.com
$ run /detached foo.exe
$ spawn /nolog /process==spawned_foo foo.exe
You need to read a little tome entitled "Mastering VMS" by David W. Byron or
maybe "The VMS User's Manual" that came with VAX/VMS Version 5.
