  The Configuration File Editor (CFE) is a DECnet utility used to modify
  the permanent node data base (CETAB.MAC).
 
  HELP is available for the following commands:
	EXIT ..................... Describes how to exit CFE
	KILL ..................... Describes how to kill an edit
	DEFINE ................... Describes how to define parameters
	LIST ..................... Describes how to list the CETAB file
	PURGE .................... Describes how to delete a definition
 
Most CFE commands operate on network components.  Component types include:

   EXECUTOR	LINE	    NODE	PROCESS
   LOGGING	OBJECT	    SYSTEM

CFE will prompt for missing parameters when a partially complete command line
has been entered.  In response to these prompts, you may type "ESCAPE" for
a brief description of what may be entered at that point.

For more help use:

   HELP command
   HELP component-type

1 KILL

  The KILL command terminates the editing session without updating the
  CETAB file or deleting the previous (input) file.

1 EXECUTOR
The executor is the local node.  It is specified in either of the
equivalent forms:

   EXECUTOR
   NODE executor-node-id

For more information use:

   HELP DEFINE EXECUTOR
   HELP LIST EXECUTOR
1 LINE
A line is a hardware communications path.  They are specified in the forms:

   LINE line-id - a specific line or group of lines.
   KNOWN LINES  - all lines known to the executor.

A line identification is a string of 4-16 characters in one of the forms:

   device-controller
   device-controller-unit
   device-controller.tributary
   device-controller-unit.tributary

Device is an alphabetic device mnemonic, such as DMC, DA, or KDZ.

Controller is the decimal device controller number.

Unit is the decimal unit on the controller.  It is allowed only if the device
is multiplexed.

Tributary is the decimal logical tributary number.  It is allowed only if the
line is multipoint.

Controller, unit, and/or tributary may be replaced with an asterisk (*) as a
wild card to indicate all known values in that position.  A wild card cannot
be used to the left of a specific number in a line identification.

For more help use:

   HELP DEFINE LINE
   HELP LIST LINE
1 LOGGING MONITOR
A logging component is a sink (or destination) for logging information.  They
are specified in the form:

   LOGGING sink-type - for a specific logging sink type.
   KNOWN LOGGING     - for all sink types known to the executor.

The only logging sink type known to DECnet-11M/S is MONITOR.

For more help use:

   HELP DEFINE LOGGING
   HELP LIST LOGGING
1 NODE
A node is a network system that can support logical links.  They are specified
in the forms:

   NODE node-id - a specific node.
   KNOWN NODES  - all nodes seen by the executor as reachable or having a name.

A node identification is either a node name or a node address.  A node name is
a string of 1-6 alphanumeric characters, containing at least one alphabetic
character.  A node address is the guarenteed network-wide unique identification
of a node and is a decimal number in the range 1-32767.

In most cases, node addresses and names may be used interchangably.

For more help use:

   HELP DEFINE NODE
   HELP LIST NODE
   HELP PURGE NODE
1 OBJECT
An object is a network addressable program.  They are specified in the forms:

   OBJECT object-type - a specific object.
   KNOWN OBJECTS      - all objects known to the executor.

An object type is a decimal number in the range 0-255.

For more help use:

   HELP DEFINE OBJECT
   HELP LIST OBJECT
   HELP PURGE OBJECT
1 PROCESS
A process is a control program that operates in the network system (the
Communications Executive).  They are specified in the forms:

   PROCESS process-name - a specific process.
   KNOWN PROCESSES      - all processes known to the executor.

A process name is 1 to 3 alphabetic characters.

For more help use:

   HELP DEFINE PROCESS
   HELP LIST PROCESS
1 SYSTEM
The system is the network operating environment, known as the Communications
Executive.  It is specified in the form:

   SYSTEM
1 PURGE
The format of the PURGE command is:

   PURGE component component-options

Component types are:

   NODE
   OBJECT

The only component option is ALL.
 
For more help use:

   HELP component-type
   HELP PURGE component-type
2 NODE
Use the PURGE NODE ALL command to remove a node name entry from the executor.
The format is:

   PURGE NODE node-id ALL
   PURGE KNOWN NODES ALL

This command will remove the node name from the table.

2 OBJECT
Use the PURGE OBJECT command to remove an object from the object table.
The format is:

   PURGE OBJECT object-type ALL
   PURGE KNOWN OBJECTS ALL

For more help use:

   HELP OBJECT
1 EXIT
EXIT simply exits CFE.  It is equivalent to a ^Z.
1 DEFINE

1 CFE>

Commands are:
