Mark, 
Not sure I follow the VMS side of the question, 
but my experience with UNIX has been that it's 
fun to cook up your own solution. 

How about things like :
===================================
command = 'ww'
--------------------------------
#!/bin/csh
echo 'Who        : ' `who am i`
echo 'Directory  : ' `pwd`
echo 'VASDATA    : ' $VASDATA
echo 'Dictionary : ' $PHD
echo ' '
echo ' '
=============================
command = elemname <some dictionary item>
-------------------
:
qshow auto=/home/bin/show.elem | grep -v Page | grep -v "E L E M" | \
                        grep -v DICTIONARY | \
                        grep -v Element | \
                        grep -i $1 |more
-----------
where /home/bin/show.elem file =
---------------
show elements
exit
===================================
command = powname <some dictionary file>
------------------
:
qshow auto=/home/bin/show.files | grep -v Page | grep -v "F I L E" | \
                        grep -v DICTIONARY | grep -v Filename | \
                        sed 's/CISAM//' | sed 's/UNIXIO/ /'  |  \
                        sed 's/INDEXED//' | sed 's/SEQUENTIAL/   /'  |  \
                        sed 's/\$VASDATA\///'   |  \
                        grep -i $1 |more
---------------
where /home/bin/show.files =
------------------
show files
exit
===================================

I am a mere apprentice.  Challenge some of the Guri out here with your
desires.....

>SHOWPOW*ERHOUSE == "@PATH$POWERHOUSE:[000000]SHOWPOWERHOUSE.COM"
