 of errors when it executes action lines.

 The radio buttons to the right correspond to the DCL severity levels
 W, E, and F.

15  –  cms Tgl

 Click on the button to direct MMS to look for source files, description
 files and included files in the current default CMS library as well as the
 specified directories.

 When you specify Use CMS, and the source in the CMS library is newer, MMS

 MMS instead used the source in the specified directory.

 CMS must be installed on your system.

16  –  cms class Txt

 Specify the CMS class to direct MMS to use the macro definition

 Click on the button to direct MMS to only change the revision dates of
 all the targets that need updating, instead of performing the update.

23  –  skip Tgl

 Click on the button to indicate that MMS should not build intermediate
 source/target files.

24  –  list switch Tgl

 Click on the button to direct MMS to use the macro definition "LIST=1".

 Automatically generated description files will contain the following
 lines:

 .IFDEF LIST
 LST = /LIST
 .ELSE
 LST = /NOLIST
 .ENDIF

 and every compilation command will include the $(LST) macro.

 If this toggle button is clicked on, then every compilation in the build
 will produce a listing file.  If this toggle button is off, no listings will
 be produced.

 Users can use the same mechanism in their own hand-written description
 files.

25  –  debug switch Tgl

 Click on the button to direct MMS to use the macro definition "DEBUG=1".

 Automatically generated description files will contain the following
 lines:

 .IFDEF DEBUG
 DBG = /DEBUG
 DBGOPT = /NOOPTIMIZE/DEBUG
 .ELSE
 DBG = /NODEBUG
 DBGOPT = /OPTIMIZE/NODEBUG
 .ENDIF

 and every compilation command will include the $(DBG) or the
 $(DBGOPT) macro.

 If this toggle button is clicked on, then every compilation in the build
 will be compiled with information to be included in the object module
 for use with the VAX Symbolic Debugger.  Also the linker will be directed

 the image is run.

 Users can use the same mechanism in their own hand-written description
 files.

 If this toggle button is clicked on, then every compilation in the build
 will produce an diagnostics file.  If diagnostics files are produced
 during a build, and LSE is running, the user is able to do a REVIEW of
 each compilation from MMS.

 If this toggle button is off, no diagnostics files will be produced.

 Users can use the same mechanism in their own hand-written description
 files.

 The default values of the options will be reflected when the dialog box comes
 up.

 If there are Definitions/Directives Options settings defined for the current
 context, they will be reflected when the dialog box come up, and they will
 take precedence over the default settings.

 If qualifiers have been specified when invoking MMS, the Definitions/Directives
 Options settings will reflect the qualifier values, and they will take
 precedence over the context settings.
