Are you sure that you are using the right handle? You get a physical
handle from calling gr_handle, and the you pass that handle into
v_opnvwk to get the virtual handle, and you use that virtual handle
for further VDI operations. I believe I saw a posting once which said
that the physical and virtual handles are the same without GDOS and
different with GDOS, but I can't seem to find my copy. In any case, a
a little experimentation ought to get your answer.

Good luck!
