BKM$HELP.HLB  —  Foreign command
    Using BACKUP Manager in batch mode

    To run BACKUP Manager in batch mode, you must first define a "foreign
    command."  A foreign command is a command that you define and is not
    supplied by the operating system or layered product software.

    To define a foreign command to run BACKUP Manager, perform the
    following steps:

    1. Add the following command line to your LOGIN.COM file:

       $ BAKMAN == "$SYS$SYSTEM:BACKUP$MANAGER.EXE"

       You can also type this command line at the DCL prompt ($), or you
       can add it to command procedures before running BACKUP Manager
       (see "Running BACKUP Manager from the command line" in the
       "Command Line ..." help topic).

    2. Invoke your LOGIN.COM file so your system recognizes the new
       BAKMAN command from your definition:

       $ @LOGIN.COM

    You can specify a different command name instead of BAKMAN, but you
    should choose a name whose first four characters are different from
    existing system commands, or you will get a command-name conflict
    error message.
