What You
Should Do
First
Before changing any environment variables, you should complete
these tasks:
• Put your system in console mode. If your system is not
displaying the >>> prompt, refer to Chapter 7 to shut down
your operating system and/or halt your system.
• Read Chapter 9 and the rest of this chapter before
continuing.
What You
Should Know
Beforehand
Changing environment variables requires an understanding
of what each of the environment variables does, and how
changing the defaults will affect your system. Do not change any
environment variable without fully understanding the effect that
the change may have on your DEC 3000 Model 600/600S/700
AXP system.
If you are not sure about changing environment variables, ask
your system manager for help.
