VMS Help EDIT, /EDT, Qualifiers, /COMMAND  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /COMMAND[=file-name]
       /NOCOMMAND

    Determines whether or not EDT uses a startup command file. The
    /COMMAND file qualifier should be followed by an equal sign (=)
    and the specification of the command file. The default file type
    for command files is EDT. No wildcard characters are allowed in
    the file specification.

    The following command line invokes EDT to edit a file named
    MEMO.DAT and specifies that EDT use a startup command file named
    XEDTINI.EDT:

    $ EDIT/COMMAND=XEDTINI.EDT MEMO.DAT

    If you do not include the /COMMAND=command file qualifier,
    EDT looks for the EDTSYS logical name assignment. If EDTSYS
    is not defined, EDT processes the systemwide startup command
    file SYS$LIBRARY:EDTSYS.EDT. If this file does not exist, EDT
    looks for the EDTINI logical name assignment. If EDTINI is not
    defined, EDT looks for the file named EDTINI.EDT in your default
    directory. If none of these files exists, EDT begins your editing
    session in the default state.

    To prevent EDT from processing either the systemwide startup
    command file or the EDTINI.EDT file in your default directory,
    use the /NOCOMMAND qualifier as follows:

    $ EDIT/NOCOMMAND MEMO.DAT
