Yes, the "person" is correct. I wouldn't look in there for an answer,
though; the VMS packages have NO comments explaining what the routines
do or how to use them. Look in your VMS programming manuals. Pay 
particular attention to SYS$, LIB$, and SMG$. When you find the 
routine you want, look in the Starlet, Lib, or Smg package for it.
