  
      This  command applies the VAX command given as "cmd-line" for each
 file specified  by  "file-spec".    The  "file-spec"  may  contain  any
 qualifiers   recognized  by  the  VAX  "DIRECTORY"  command,  including
 wildcard characters, "/BEFORE", "/SINCE", "/EXCLUDE", etc. 
  
      The command to be executed, "cmd-line", may  be  any  VAX  command
 including a  command-file  invocation  (@).    Each  file  selected  by
 "file-spec" can be referenced in  "cmd-line"  by  using  the  following
 global symbols: 
  
        FILESPEC - the entire VAX file specification
        PATHNAME - the file's directory path name (with [])
        FILENAME - the nine-character file name
        FILETYPE - the file's type (omitting ".")
        VERSION  - the file's version number (omitting ";")
  
 For convenience, the components of "file-spec" default as follows: 
  
       file version - highest version assumed:  ;
       file type    - all types assumed:  .*
       file name    - all highest-version files assumed:  *.*;
       directory    - default directory assumed:  []
  
 A  version number of ";" refers to the highest version of a file, and a
 file type of "." refers to a blank type. 
  
      The following command options are allowed: 
  
    -TRACE   = (or "-T") print the full file spec of each file selected
    -FORMAT  = (or "-F") show the format of the command
    -HELP    = (or "-H") display help for the command
  
 Examples:
  
 DIRCOM *.FOR "FOR 'FILENAME'"          <-- Compile local FORTRAN files
 DIRCOM *.FOR "DELETE 'FILENAME'.LIS;*" <-- Delete listings of FORTRAN files
 DIRCOM  *.FLE  "FLECS 'FILENAME'"      <-- Translate all FLECS files
 DIRCOM "/EXCL=*TEST*.* *.FOR"  "PRINT 'FILESPEC'"
                                        --- Print files, excluding tests
 DIRCOM [...]*.FOR "SEARCH 'FILESPEC' STOP"
                                        --- Search all FORTRAN files for
                                            characters "STOP"
 DIRCOM "/SINCE *.FOR" "FOR 'FILENAME'" <-- Compile files edited today
