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

    The SHOW PROFILE command displays the privileges and the
    default device and directory that is being used in the current
    environment. You can modify these attributes with the SET PROFILE
    command.

    These values remain in effect until you change environments or
    enter another SET PROFILE command.
