I worked on a /34/36 for > 15 years. Even still have a 5362 (which worked last December). I used to give sessions at COMMON, when there was still a 36 project, on some real esoteric stuff, but the '*' is either one that I never discovered, or the little gray cells are dying faster than I thought.
Anyway, QCMD was what I was trying to remember this morning.

Jerry,
However, I never saw the * "trick" before, but it sorta makes sense.
Then you never worked on the S/34/36 enough. :)
All * amounts to is an OCL comment line. When you type *, it puts you into
the S36EE entry mode for OCL lines, similar to // LOAD or whatever. It
really isn't quite the same as QCMD, because with * you are in the OCL
interpreter -- which happens to also support native commands.
