Great to have the list back - thanks very much David.

Look into the QKGO maintenance, and runtime parameters etc.
We've seen obscure errors go away with an uplift in quotas, too.
In authorize, we've got wsdef, wsquo, and wsextent set to 2k, 4k, 16k 
respectively, and pgflquo set to 50k for our PH users - YMMV.
System parameters WSMAX and VIRTUALPAGECNT impose systemwide limits on 
the same quotas, so they need to be at least that high.

Authorize changes are effective from next login, changing system 
parameters typically requires running sys$update:autogen & rebooting.

It is possible to run several versions of Powerhouse on VMS 
simultaneously, so long as the screens don't call each other: you'd just 
need an @setpowerhouse either side of the errant screen.

Sorry if I'm telling you things you already know - you don't say how 
familiar you are with VMS.
