This subdirectory contains a program and command procedure that will save
and restore symbols and logicals defined during the course of a terminal
session.  Useful if you interactively define some and want to re-use them
in your next session without having to redefine them by hand.
.list 2,">"
.le
SAVE.COM   --  This DCL command procedure performs both the save and the
restoration of the symbols and logicals.  If no parameter is passed to it,
it saves the output from SHOW LOGICALS and SHOW SYMBOLS in a file.  If a
parameter IS passed to it (any old thing will do), it writes current symbols
and logicals to files, runs DIFFERENCES on them to find those in one and
not the other, then runs SAVE.EXE to take the DIFFERENCES output and make
a command procedure to redefine the symbols and logicals.
.le
SAVE.EXE   --  This program converts the DIFFERENCES output to a command
procedure capable of defining logicals and symbols.
.end list

To best learn how these programs work, use them.  For example:
.sk 1;.lm +20
$ @SAVE
.br;$ LOGOUT
.sk 1
Later:
.br;$ @SAVE 2
.lm -20;.blank 1
