I think the following code should do what you want:
$! NEW-SZ.COM
$!
$loop:
$ filename = f$search("'p1'")
$ if filename .eqs. "" then goto done
$ sz 'filename'
$done:
$ exit
Put this code in a file called NEW-SZ.COM (or whatever you want to call it)
and place an entry in your login.com file to define it, for instance:
$ NEW-SZ == "@SYS$LOGIN:NEW-SZ.COM"
Then run the program with a command such as:
$ NEW-SZ THIS*.*LHA
