ATTACH

  Attaches control to another process or subprocess. This suspends, but does
  not end, your editing session. ATTACH does not create the other process or
  subprocess.

  Examples:

     Commands          Effects
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     ATTACH Geoff_1    Attaches to a subprocess named Geoff_1. Process names
                       are case-sensitive and up to 15 characters. You
                       cannot use a numeric process ID.

     ATTACH            If you do not specify a process name, you attach to
                       the parent process. This is useful if you run EVE
                       in a subprocess as a "kept" editor.

  Usage notes:

  o  Using ATTACH and SPAWN lets you keep an editing session active
     throughout your entire VMS session. This makes it faster to resume
     editing, but uses more system resources.

  o  To resume editing, enter the fg command.

  o  You cannot use ATTACH with the DECwindows interface. However, because
     you can run other DECwindows applications concurrently or create
     DECterm windows, you may not need to use ATTACH.

  o  Use the DCL command when you want to run a single system command or
     utility during your editing session that does not generate continuous
     output or that does not do its own screen management. For example, the
     following command displays a list of files with the type .TXT:

        Command: DCL DIRECTORY *.txt

     You can then cut or copy the directory list and insert it into another
     buffer. See help on the DCL command.
