I got the first response within 2 hours of posting the message -- this bboard is INTENSE!! Just in case you're wondering, the simplest method for searching a VMS directory tree for a given file is dir [root_directory_name...]file_name.extension where, of course, the global '*' is allowed in the file spec.
