PN (PAD_NAME) -- Save transcript pad in named file.
usage:  pn pathname


FORMAT

  PN pathname


  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.    The  file remains in use and locked, however, 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.

  The PN command can also be used 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
                     (i.e., you cannot save a file on your node if the file name
                     is cataloged on some other node).
