VMS Help CMS, Elements  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 An element is the basic structural unit in a library.  An element
 consists of a file and all its versions, called generations.

 An element name is the file name and type specified with the CMS
 CREATE ELEMENT command.  When you retrieve an element from the
 library, CMS places a copy of the element in your default directory.
 Each time you replace an element in the library, CMS creates a new
 generation of that file.

 CMS can store any type of file except a directory file.

      (1)  HELP CMS CREATE ELEMENT tells how to create new files
           in a CMS library.

      (2)  HELP CMS DELETE ELEMENT tells how to delete one or more
           elements.

      (3)  HELP CMS INSERT ELEMENT tells how to insert one or more
           elements into one or more groups.

      (4)  HELP CMS MODIFY ELEMENT tells how to change the attributes
           of one more elements.

      (5)  HELP CMS REMOVE ELEMENT tells how to remove one or more
           elements from one or more groups.

      (6)  HELP CMS SHOW ELEMENT tells how to display information
           about one or more elements.
