This routine takes the command string specified and passes it to the editor. DECTPU uses the information from this command string for initialization purposes, just as though you had entered the command at the DCL level. Using the simplified callable interface does not set TPU$CLOSE_ SECTION. This feature lets you make multiple calls to TPU$TPU without requiring you to open and close the section file on each call. If your application parses information that is not related to the operation of DECTPU, make sure the application obtains and uses all non-DECTPU parse information before the application calls TPU$TPU. This is because TPU$TPU destroys all parse information obtained and stored before TPU$TPU was called.
