/sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb BASIC  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

   Invokes the VAX BASIC for OpenVMS VAX compiler.

   Format:

        BASIC [/command-qualifier]... [source-file [/file-qualifier]... ]...

   If you supply one or more file specifications,  the  compiler  compiles  the
   source  file(s).   If  you do not supply a file specification, you enter the
   VAX BASIC environment and receive the Ready prompt.

   If you  separate  source  file  specifications  with  commas,  the  compiler
   compiles  each module separately and produces multiple object files.  If you
   separate source file  specifications  with  plus  signs  (+),  the  compiler
   appends the files and produces a single object file.
