  The documentation I have for LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL states that "image" is
the default file specification applied to the image name.  I would interpret
this as meaning "image" is specified as the default file specification to
the file specified in "filename".  If "filename" is a logical, then that
logical would be translated before the default file specifications are used.
