SUMMARY

    The Consol program uses the Isis system call of the same name to assign
the "logical devices" :ci: and :co: to physical devices.


SAMPLE INVOCATIONS WITH EXPLANATIONS


	The command

        CONSOL ,:F1:TEST.CSL

    redirects the console output (:co:) to the disk file :f1:test.csl.


	The command

	    CONSOL :F1:JOB.CSD

    redirects the console input to :f1:job.csd.  The system will begin
    executing commands out of the file.


    The command

        CONSOL :VI:,:VO:

    forces the system back into interactive mode.



SOME APPLICATIONS

    * Execute a long job from a submit file and save the consol output, which
      would have gone to the screen, in a disk file, to be subsequently
      examined and processed.

    * Use Consol to assign :ci: to an already existing Command Sequence file. 
      This is faster than using the submit program, which produces a new
      Command Sequence file from a command Sequence Definition File, each time
      it is invoked. If Consol is used in this manner, there should be another
      consol command at the end of the file (consol :vi:,:vo:), to avoid an
      isis error 29.
