 One side effect of dual command-line parsing is that if there is only a

address@hidden redirection
+
+This restriction also applies to running gawk under GNV, as redirection
+is always to a DCL command.
+
+If you are redirecting data to a VMS command or utility, the current
+implementation requires that setting up a VMS foreign command that runs
+a command file before invoking gawk.
+
+With out this command file, the input data will also appear pre-pended
+to the output data.
+
+This restriction may be removed in a future release of gawk on VMS.
+
+This also allows simulating POSIX commands that are not found on VMS or the
+use of GNV utilities.
+
+The example below is for gawk redirecting data to the VMS sort command.
+
address@hidden
+$ sort = "@device:[dir]vms_gawk_sort.com"
address@hidden example
+
+The command file needs to be of the format in the example below.
+
+The first line inhibits the passed input data from also showing up in the
+output.  It must be in the format in the example.
+
+The next line creates a foreign command that overrides the outer foreign
+command which prevents an infinite recursion of command files.
+
+The next to the last command redirects sys$input to be sys$command, in order
+to pick up the data that is being redirected to the command.
+
+The last line runs the actual command.  It must be the last command as the data
+redirected from gawk will be read when the command file ends.
