Fundamentals of OpenVMS


			COURSE DESCRIPTION

	This course teaches the basic working environment of an OpenVMS system.	   
	It introduces commonly required operations that can be performed by
	entering commands interactively at a terminal.


			COURSE OBJECTIVES

	Each participant will be able to use DCL (Digital Command Language)
	commands to maintain collections of files, create files using
	interactive editor utilities, create and execute basic command
	procedures, communicate with other users, and tailor the interactive
	environment to meet their needs. Usage of the Graphical Desktop
	will also be shown.
