Your message seemed to indicate that when a file is created using a directory
specification containing a search list, such as SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB], and a
version of the file already exists in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB], the new file will
be created in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] if your UIC matches the UIC of the file
and/or the directory, but will be created in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] otherwise.
Experiments on my system indicate that the new file is always created in
SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB].  I can't decide how to reconcile the apparent
contradiction.
