Examples

   1. <Ctrl/Y>
     Username:  HOFFMAN
     Password:  <PASSWORD>

     In this example, pressing Ctrl/Y allows you to access the
     operating system, which immediately prompts for a user name.
     After validating the user name, the system prompts for the
     password but does not echo it.

   2. <Return>
     Username:  HIGGINS/DISK=USER$
     Password: <PASSWORD>

     $ SHOW DEFAULT
       USER$:[HIGGINS]

     In this Alpha example, the /DISK qualifier requests that
     the default disk for the terminal session be USER$. The SHOW
     DEFAULT command shows that USER$ is the default disk.
