Subject: DDT help...

For a fairly good learning and reference on DDT (and the rest of CPM,
as well), a book by Morrow Designs which is essentially a clarification
of Digital Research's documentation has given me good service.  I use
it instead of the DR documentation, since it has it all and is much more
readable.  It doesn't cover SID, however - only DDT. There are examples
though, and a really handy section with all of the CPM calls defined.

As far as using a console command default string under DDT, about the 
only way is to manually set up the FCB using the S command, and the
CCP string at location 80h with the length in front (SID makes this
much easier with its direct text entry). Sorry - I don't think there's
an easier way.
