pn (pad_name) save transcript pad in named file
usage: pn pathname
DESCRIPTION
The pn command names a transcript pad and makes it permanent. That is,
the pad is stored in a file and remains on the system after all windows
to it are deleted. However, the file remains in use and locked, until
the process is stopped and all windows are closed. If you do not use the
pn command, transcript pads are deleted when all windows to them are
deleted.
You can also use the pn command to change the name of an edit pad.
ARGUMENTS
pathname (required)
Specify the pathname where the DM saves the pad. The
pathname must be cataloged in a directory on your node
(that is, you cannot save a file on your node if the
filename is cataloged on some other node).
