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

    /SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE (D)
    /[NO]SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE

    Controls whether MMS displays the current description file in the
    MMS description file area.

    When you specify the /SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE qualifier, if the
    DECwindows version of LSE is not presently invoked, MMS displays
    the current description file in the MMS description file area as
    read-only for browsing purposes. If the DECwindows version of LSE
    is currently invoked, MMS displays the description file in the
    MMS description file area in a modifiable LSE buffer.

    The /NOSHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE qualifier directs MMS to hide the
    current description file from the MMS description file area. The
    default qualifier is /SHOW_DESCRIPTION_FILE.
