I tried to stay out, but VMS isn't even transparent across it's local
devices. A name like
joesvax::a$physical_disk$name_here_like_dra0:[dir.dir.dir]filename
may work from anywhere on the net, but you need to know the node name,
physical device name, and lots of syntax with variable numbers of
colons, and [names] as well.
