Close...the command PRINT NL: actually won't clear the screen. NL: is the null device in VMS and if you print it, it merely drops to the next prompt. What you'd really want is TYPE/PAGE NL:


perl -e 'print reverse qw/o b n a e s/;'

    That's right. It's been a while since I did anything with VMS. Thanks.
