SolutionThe answer is that SHOW SYSTEM is actual hardware pages. AUTHORIZE, SET WORKING_SET and others work in pagelets (universal quantum; aka VAX page size).
A quick check with my cellphone (calculator mode) on the ACME process (Alpha 6.2) and cross checked with SHOW SYSTEM indicates that SHOW PROCESS/ACCOUNTING is displaying in pagelets.

Re: Pages or pagelets
Definitely NOT a dumb question! Different utilities and displays use the two units interchangebly, often without any clear indication. It's very confusing!
Unfortunately there are no simple rules to remember which is which. You just have to know each context :-( It helps that it's an order of magnitude difference, so often you can tell the difference by sanity check.
That said, in general, things which are VAX heritage, or can potentially be physically shared across a cluster (like ACCOUNTNG and AUTHORIZE) tend to use the generic unit (pagelets). Things which are node specific (like SHOW SYSTEM) sometimes use physical pages.
To add to confusion, SYSGEN uses physical units internally, but displays generic units, or both.
If in doubt, try SET PROCESS/UNIT=BYTES. For some things this will change the display units to absolute bytes which are unambiguous.
(if only VMS engineering had chosen a page to be 1KB way back then, this would be less of an issue. Another burden we have to bear because of the historic price of storage!)
