Number: A3TH071990U165 Subject: Using Machine Variable in Login Script Date: August 1, 1990 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - GENERAL INFORMATION: A customer had the following in his LOGIN script: machine=station write "%MACHINE" The two "machines" are not the same. The first is a DOS function call and the second is the long machine name defined in SHELL.CFG, which defaults to IBM_PC. The customer wanted to set the machine to the connection number and he expected to write that connection # to the user. It will not work this way.
