Your LOGIN.COM file can define the TECO command with preset qualifiers if desired. The qualifiers /NOCRE, /NOINI, and /NOMEM are recognized by all TECO commands so that they can be preset at command definition time. To disable all TECO start up actions you would use TECO == "$SYS$SYSTEM:TECO32 TECO/NOCRE/NOINI/NOMEM" To disable only TECO's memory you would use TECO == "$SYS$SYSTEM:TECO32 TECO/NOMEM" Etc.
