  Digital Test Manager performs the following steps when
  it executes tests within a collection:

  1. Defines the DTM$COLLECTION_NAME variable as the
     collection name

  2. Defines any global variables with values as assigned
     when the collection was created

  3. Executes the collection prologue file, if any

  4. Calls a generic command file in the Digital Test
     Manager library to perform the following tasks for
     each test:

     a.  Defines local variables

     b.  Defines the DTM$TEST_NAME variable as the test
         name for the current test

     c.  Executes the test prologue, if any

     d.  Executes the test template

     e.  Defines the DTM$RESULT variable as the test
         result name of the current test

     f.  Executes the test epilogue, if any

     g.  Executes any user-defined filters

     h.  Executes filters provided by Digital Test
         Manager

     i.  Undefines local variables

     j.  Undefines the DTM$RESULT variable

  5. Compares the result file with the benchmark file

  6. Executes the collection epilogue file, if any
