The SPAWN command suspends SNANCP and creates a VMS subprocess.  You
can use this command to temporarily leave SNANCP to do work at DCL
level, or to invoke VMS utilities or layered products.

FORMAT:

        SPAWN [command-string]

where 'command-string' specifies a DCL command to be executed in the
context of the created subprocess.  When the command completes, the
subprocess terminates and control is returned to the parent process.

If you do not enter a command-string after SPAWN, you will see the
system command interpreter's prompt.  You can then enter DCL commands,
or invoke VMS utilities or layered products.  To return to SNANCP, log
out of the subprocess.

Example

     1.  SNANCP> SPAWN MAIL

         This command suspends your SNANCP process and creates a
         subprocess in which the MAIL utility is invoked.  When you
         exit from MAIL, you are returned to your SNANCP process.

     2.  SNANCP> SPAWN NCP TELL ALARUM SHOW KNOWN NODES

         This command suspends your SNANCP process and creates a
         subprocess in which NCP is invoked.  After executing the NCP
         command, you are returned to your SNANCP process.
