    "What is the destination name (or number) for 'application'?"

    The destination type can be either a name or a number.

    If you selected name as the destination type in response to
    the previous prompt, your reply to this prompt can be either
    the application name (for example, NOTES), or a destination
    object name (for example, IAF:.SALES.BOSTON). The destination
    object name is the DECdns full name of the node that provides the
    application.

    The application name can be from 1 to 16 characters. The
    destination object name can be a maximum of 512 characters and
    is entered in this format:

    NamespaceNickname:.DirectoryPath.NodeObject

    If you selected number as the destination type in response to
    the previous prompt, your reply to this prompt must be an object
    number.

    DECnet software uses object numbers as unique object identifiers.
    Object numbers have a range of 1 to 255. Generic objects such as
    MAIL and FAL have object numbers that are recognized throughout
    the network. User-defined images may have unique object numbers;
    numbers between 128 and 255 are reserved for this purpose.

    If you are adding a user-defined application, pick a number from
    128 to 255. If you are adding an application defined by HP,
    select the appropriate number from Object Type Numbers.
