36 Notes on deckfile_path:  If the deckfile_path is not given on the
37 request line then the following sequence is used.  If a deckfile_path
38 is entered in the deckfile_manager command line, it is used.  Otherwise
39 the current working_dir is searched for an entry, if one is found the
40 user is notified of its use.  If an entry is not found and the user has
41 sufficient effective access, the user is queried as to the creation of
42 the tandd_deck_file or deckfile.list.  If the reply is no and the user
43 has sufficient effective access to modify the tandd_deck_file in
44 >system_library_tandd, the user is again query as to its usage.  If no
45 tandd_deck_file is found the command is aborted.
