    The solution is to make sure your definition of SYS$SYLOGIN does
    NOT specify a file type. For example:
    DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC SYS$SYLOGIN SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN
    If the user specifies DCL as his CLI at login time, DCL will open the
    file SYS$SYLOGIN with a default file specification of ".COM", and
    so will open and read SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM
    The Shell does not specify a default file specification with a file
    type, and so will open and read SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.
    You should then create SYLOGIN.COM with appropriate DCL commands and
    SYLOGIN. with appropriate Shell commands. I assume the same would work
    for MCR with SYLOGIN.CMD.
    Users can also have LOGIN.COM and LOGIN. files if the LGICMD field
    of their entry in SYSUAF does not specify the file type.
