1 TELL

Use the TELL prefix to identify the executor node for a particular NCP
command.   TELL sets the executor for only one command and must prefix
the command for which it is intended.   This command allows you
optionally to specify access control information in one of two ways:
as part of the node-spec or as distinct parameters.

TELL    node-spec     ACCOUNT account
                      PASSWORD password
                      USER user-id

You cannot use the TELL prefix with the CLEAR EXECUTOR NODE, COPY
KNOWN NODES, or SET EXECUTOR NODE commands.
 
2 node-spec
Specifies a node name or address optionally followed by access
control information as specified for OpenVMS systems. Use one of
the following formats:

        node-id
        node-id"user password account"

The node-id can be a logical name.  You can override access
control in a logical name by specifying explicit access control
information in the command.   

2 ACCOUNT account
Identifies the user's account for access control verification at
the designated executor node.  This parameter is not required for
DECnet for OpenVMS nodes since DECnet for OpenVMS does not use
account information to validate access control.              
        
2 PASSWORD password
Identifies the user's password for access control verification at
the designated executor node.
                                              
2 USER user-id
Identifies the user's ID for access control verification at the
designated executor node.
                                             
2 Examples

     NCP>TELL 3.5 SET KNOWN LINES ALL

         This command sets the executor to node 3.5 where 
         the SET KNOWN LINES ALL command executes.

     NCP>TELL TRNTO"LOW JBL"  SHOW KNOWN LINES

         This command uses access control information to  
         set the executor to node TRNTO where the SHOW 
         KNOWN LINES command executes.

     NCP>TELL TRNTO USER SYSTEM PASSWORD MANAGER - 
     _ ZERO EXECUTOR

         This command uses an alternate access control 
         format to set the executor to node TRNTO where 
         the ZERO EXECUTOR command executes.
