Another dim memory, IIRC, in AUTHORIZE, there is (were) two different privilege
settings for a user id.. Authorized privileges, and default privileges. I once,
when teaching myself Basic, left EXQUOTA turned on, and (due to a loop in my
"errant" code") almost instantaneously, allocated every free block on the system
disk of a 750, thus causing my boss (sitting in an adjacent chair) to exclaim (as
the system hung!), "Whaddidja do?!?!?!"..
Lesson I learned was: $ SET PROC/PRIV=NOALL $ SET PROC/PRIV=TMPMBX, NETMBX Before
I tried anything like that again...
