If you have an ANSI terminal (or a vtXXX) hooked up to

you're outa luck, both myself and a guy I know that worked for DEC either
can't figure it out or have deemed it impossible to do ANSI emulation on
those things (or anything useful). My suggestion is to try and get it to
work with a text-terminal first.
They finally got around to ANSI emulation in blue screen mode on Alphas
running Unix. I don't think VMS even has it there.
that would be 'create filename.txt'. Once
you get yourself an ANSI
terminal and EDT or EVE running, it'll be much more exciting. EDT and EVE
are *not* the easiest things to use without any prior knowledge (or
without a "Do" key on your DEC Keyboard :) The best 'intro to VMS for
Control B works as do, with a downarrow to get rid of the prev. command
