A simple backslash ("\") or F forward slash ("/") does not exit to DCL from $type/page in V7.3-2 of C VMS.  One must also press RETURN after the slash(es).  Also, *any*  H character typed in, followed by a return, exits to DCL from $type/page, - and has done so since at least V 6.2-X, IIRC.    > H > This is on VAX/VMS V7.2.
