For a while now I've been getting an error message when my login.com file
executes. I finally broke down from boredom and decided to see what's
happening, so I stuck a bunch of output statements in to see where the error
is occuring, and well, the results confuse me.
 
Here is a segment from my login.com:
 
$ write sys$output ""
$ write sys$output "Defining SIG$DIR..."
$ define sig$dir sys_users:[san.williar2.sigs]
 
$ write sys$output ""
$ write sys$output "Setting terminal dimensions..."
$ set term/page=35/width=100
 
$ write sys$output ""
$ write sys$output "Preparing to define nicknames..."
 
 
And here is what this segment produces:
 
Defining SIG$DIR...
 
Setting terminal dimensions...
%DCL-W-SKPDAT, image data (records not beginning with "$") ignored
 
Preparing to define nicknames...
 
What is causing the error? There are no lines that do not contain a $. BTW,
the set term command is being executed, but it would appear that's where
the error is happening. Ideas? Since the command is being executed, it's
not too big a deal, but when I'm programming, nothing bugs me more than not
knowing _why_ something is or isn't working.... (Not to mention the fact
that the error message is ugly. :-)
 
TIA.
 
Regards,
Bob
