	^^TSMCR (T\\IME-SHARED ^^MCR)\\
.SKIP 1
^^TSMCR\\ IS A PSEUDO-^^CLI\\ TASK THAT ALLOWS SEVERAL TIME-SHARED TASKS
(CURRENTLY UP TO 5) TO BE RUN SIMULTANEOUSLY AT AN ^^IAS\\ TERMINAL.
^^TSMCR\\ WILL TAKE CONTROL-^C RESPONSE AWAY FROM ^^PDS\\ AND FUNCTION
SIMILIARLY TO THE ^^RSX-11D MCR\\, EXCEPT THAT IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO
THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE ^^IAS\\ TIME-SHARING CONTROL PRIMITIVES (^^TCP\\).
^HOWEVER, ^^TSMCR\\ ADHERES TO THE ^^MCR\\ COMMNAD SYNTAX RATHER THAN
THE ^^PDS\\ SYNTAX.  ^THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ^^TSMCR\\ AND ^^MCR\\
MODE OF ^^IAS\\ 3.0 IS THAT UNDER ^^MCR\\ MODE ALL TASKS EXCEPT THE LAST
ARE SUSPENDED, WHILE UNDER ^^TSMCR\\ ALL TASKS ARE CONCURRENTLY ACTIVE.
.SKIP 1
^AFTER EACH COMMAND ^^TSMCR\\ WILL GO INTO A WAIT STATE AND WILL REPROMPT
THE TERMINAL FOR INPUT ONLY IN RESPONSE TO A CONTROL-^C OR WHENEVER A
REQUESTED TASK EXITS.  ^A CONTROL-^Z INPUT WILL RETURN ^^TSMCR\\ TO ITS
WAIT STATE, UNLESS NO MORE TASKS ARE ACTIVE, IN WHICH CASE ^^TSMCR\\
WILL RETURN CONTROL TO ^^PDS\\ AND EXIT.
.SKIP 1
^^TSMCR\\ ACCEPTS FOUR TYPES OF INPUTS: ^^MCR/PDS\\ TYPE COMMANDS (EXCEPT
^^MOUNT\\), ^^RUN\\ COMMANDS, THE ^^ABORT\\ COMMAND AND THE ^^EXIT\\ COMMAND.
^ALL ^^MOUNT\\ REQUESTS MUST BE ISSUED FROM ^^PDS\\.  ^^TSMCR\\ WILL REJECT 
ALL ^^MOUNT\\ REQUESTS WITH A WARNING MESSAGE.
.SKIP 1
1. ^^MCR/PDS\\ TYPE COMMANDS:   ^^TSMCR>[C]XXX [C\\OMMAND LINE]
.BREAK
.LEFT MARGIN 4
^IF THE OPTIONAL CHARACTER ^C IS OMITTED, AN ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO
EXECUTE THE ^^MCR\\-TYPE TASK ...^^XXX\\.  ^IF UNSUCCESSFUL, AN ATTEMPT WILL
THEN BE MADE TO EXECUTE A ^^PDS\\-TYPE TASK $$$^^XXX\\.  ^IN BOTH CASES THE
OPTIONAL COMMAND LINE, IF INPUT, WILL BE PASSED TO THE TASK SUCH THAT
IT CAN BE READ BY THE ^^GMCR\\$ OR ^^GMCL\\$ DIRECTIVES.  ^THE OPTIONAL
CHARACTER ^C, WHICH CAN BE A PERIOD (.) OR DOLLAR SIGN ($), WILL CAUSE
^^TSMCR\\ TO EXECUTE ONLY A ^^MCR\\-TYPE TASK OR ^^PDS\\-TYPE TASK
RESPECTIVELY.
.SKIP 1
.LEFT MARGIN 0
2. ^^RUN\\ COMMANDS:   ^^TSMCR>RUN 'T\\ASKNAME'
.BREAK
.LEFT MARGIN 4
^AN ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO EXECUTE AN INSTALLED TASK 'TASKNAME'.  ^IF NO
SUCH TASK IS INSTALLED, THEN 'TASKNAME' WILL BE ASSUMED TO BE A FILENAME. 
.SKIP 1
.LEFT MARGIN 0
3. ^^ABORT\\ COMMAND:  ^^TSMCR>ABO[RT] 'T\\ASKNAME'
.BREAK
.LEFT MARGIN 4
^THE SPECIFIED TASK 'TASKNAME', IF INITIATED BY ^^TSMCR\\, WILL BE ABORTED.
.SKIP 1
^NOTE: ^THE FOLLOWING BUG IN THE ^^IAS\\ 2.0 TIME-SHARING CONTROL PRIMITIVES
.LEFT MARGIN 11
AFFECTS ^^TSMCR\\.  ^IF TWO TASKS OF THE SAME NAME ARE INITIATED AND
SUBSEQUENTLY AN ABORT REQUEST IS ISSUED FOR ONE OF THEM, THE TASK
(^^TSMCR\\ IN THIS CASE) WILL HANG UP IN THE ^^TCP\\ ROUTINE ^^.ABRT\\
WAITING FOR A TASK EVENT.  ^IT WILL STAY THERE UNTIL ONE OF THE ACTIVE 
TASK EXITS, ABORTS OR CAUSES A SIMILAR TASK EVENT.  ^THIS BUG HAS
BEEN FIXED IN ^^IAS\\ 3.0.
.SKIP 1
.LEFT MARGIN 0
4. ^^EXIT\\ COMMAND:  ^^TSMCR>EX[IT][/ABO]\\
.BREAK
.LEFT MARGIN 4
^^TSMCR\\ WILL EXIT AND RETURN CONTROL TO ^^PDS\\.  ^IF ANY TASKS ARE STILL
ACTIVE, THE USER WILL BE ASKED TO CONFIRM THAT EXIT IS REALLY
DESIRED, SINCE ^^IAS\\ WILL ABORT ANY ^^TSMCR\\-INITIATED TASKS WHEN
^^TSMCR\\ EXITS.  ^THE OPTIONAL /^^ABO\\ SWITCH, IF INPUT, WILL SUPPRESS 
THE CONFIRMATION REQUEST.
.SKIP 1
.LEFT MARGIN 0
^IN ORDER FOR ^^TSMCR\\ TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, THE USERS ACCOUNT SHOULD HAVE
A MAXIMUM TASK LIMIT OF AT LEAST 7 (SEE THE ^^SCI\\ COMMAND '^^USERS\\' IN
THE ^SYSTEM ^MANAGERS ^GUIDE).  ^IN ADDITION, THE TERMINAL ^^CLI\\ ALLOCATION
SHOULD ALSO ALLOW AT LEAST 7 TASKS (SEE THE ^^SCI\\ COMMANDS ^^DEALLOCATE\\
AND ^^ALLOCATE\\ IN THE ^SYSTEM ^MANAGER'S ^GUIDE).
^^TSMCR\\ WAS WRITTEN ON A SYSTEM WHERE ALL USERS ARE GRANTED ALL TIME-SHARING
PRIVLEDGES AVAILABLE UNDER THE ^^IAS USERS\\ COMMAND.  ^UNDER MORE RESTRICTIVE
CONDITIONS, ^^TSMCR\\ MAY NOT FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED.
