1 CONFIRM

  This program is for the questioning of users to particular items.  The 
program is installed with SYSPRV so that the protection on the files can 
disallow world access and keep users from messing with them.  Users must
have read access to read the message file.

2 /FILE_NAME

  This qualifier tells the program what the file name is for the information.
Do not place the extention on the command line, the file name will have an
extention of .INFO.


2 /MESSAGE_FILE

  This qualifier tells the program what file will be displayed as the 
"confirming" message using .MSG as the default extension.


NOTES CONCERNING THE .MSG FILE:

Write message out in the .MSG file first with no more than 80 characters to a
line and then add control characters for video display attributes after you
have modified the file to your liking.  Each page of the .MSG file displayed
on the terminal is 18 lines long.
