Re: Can a VM machine ...
CMS (and other virtual machines) use Diagnose 8 to pass CP commands to CP for execution. Would those start going to Hercules instead? If so, that could cause some delightful explosions!! Bo Bolch

Re: Can a VM machine ...
Hello Joe, I can see how VM, itself, can talk to Hercule via Diag 8, but how would a guest OS or CMS program? Wouldn't a Diag 8 in a virtual machine go to VM as a CP command instead of to Hercules.

Actually I type (or set a PF key to) "CMS EXEC <filename> <arguments>" to run an editor macro. The macro must have an 'address' statement inside, I personally am tempted to write '/* REXX */ address
