Library /sys$common/syshlp/sysmanhelp.hlb SET, PROFILE, Description  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The SET PROFILE command modifies process attributes for
    the current management environment. After considering the
    privilege requirements of commands that you intend to use in
    an environment, you can add or delete current privileges, if
    they are authorized. You can also set a new default device and
    directory, as well as use the SET PROFILE/[NO]VERIFY command
    to control DCL command verification in SYSMAN. Other attributes
    of your process remain constant. The profile is in effect until
    you change it, reset the environment, or exit from SYSMAN. The
    OpenVMS System Manager's Manual discusses profile changes in more
    detail.
