Yes, definitely not a good idea - I only suggested it for test/debugging
purposes.
For production, move the image to sys$common:[syslib], and have the system
manager install it (necessary since Quick's privileged), and either have him
set up a qkdriver /sys/exec logical too, or have a qkgo file that points at
the image (& screen) by name.
No need to give unmanaged privileges to users under VMS.
The need for a /sys/exec logical is to prevent unprivileged hacking of
Quick's own installed privileges (SYSGBL, SYSLCK).

Sorry for the mail confusion.
Chris
