the utility must have an associated Console Extras definition. To add a Console Extras
definition, move to the Console Extras Maintenance Menu panel and follow these
steps:

If you want to add the utility to the Console Extras : Utility List panel for a
specific user, type 1 in the Select Option field, and type the user ID that will
access the utility in the User field.
If you want to add the utility to the Console Extras : Utility List panel for all
users of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, type 2 in the Select Option
field. The selection will be available to users who do not have personal
Console Extras definitions configured for them.

Configuration and Utility Name fields are carried over from the UMS : Console
Extras Configuration Menu panel.

the utility, type the explanation in the Description field.
