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

  $ EDIT/ACL/JOURNAL=SAVEACL MYFILE.DAT
     .
     .
     .
  User creates ACL until system crashes
     .
     .
     .
  $ EDIT/ACL/JOURNAL=SAVEACL/RECOVER=SAVEACL MYFILE.DAT

     .
     .
     .
  ACL is restored and user proceeds with editing until done
     .
     .
     .
    ^Z
  $

      The first command in this example starts the ACL editing
      session and specifies that the ACL editor must save the journal
      file SAVEACL.TJL if the session ends abnormally. The session
      proceeds until it is aborted by a system crash.

      The next command restores the lost session with the journal
      file SAVEACL.TJL. To end the session, press Ctrl/Z. The ACL
      editor saves the edits and deletes the journal file.
