WELCOME 

The WELCOME command enables the system administrator to define a greeting
message for users when they initiate jobs and sessions. 

Syntax 

WELCOME [welcomefile]

Parameters 

welcomefile           Specifies an ASCII file that contains the welcome
                      message.

Operation Notes 

   *   Usage 

       You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
       break mode.  Pressing Break does not affect this command if a
       welcome file is used; otherwise, Break aborts the command and
       leaves the welcome message unchanged.  You can only enter this
       command from the console; however, you can enter this command from
       your terminal if your system administrator has used the ALLOW
       command to enable you to enter the WELCOME command.

       You do not have to reboot the system after entering this command.

   *   Creating and deleting messages 

       You can either create a message interactively or specify a
       pre-existing message file (welcomefile) when you enter the
       command.  Line lengths cannot exceed 72 characters, and the total
       number of lines cannot exceed 26.

       To delete an existing message, you enter the command and press
       Return at the # prompt.

Examples 

   *   To create a multiline welcome message interactively, enter:

            :WELCOME 
            #WELCOME TO THE HP 3000 COMPUTER SYSTEM. 
            #FILES WILL BE STORED EACH DAY BETWEEN 6AM AND 7AM. 
            #Return 

   *   To use a predefined message file called MESSAGE1, enter:

            :WELCOME MESSAGE1 

   *   To delete MESSAGE1, enter:

            :WELCOME 
            #Return
