Mark,
	I am no great expert on this either (and a very novice in some 
aspects)   However,  what we do here is something like this.

ASSIGN SYS$COMMON:SYSUAF.DAT SYSUAF
ASSIGN SYS$COMMON:NETUAF.DAT NETUAF
ASSIGN SYS$COMMON:RIGHTSLIST.DAT RIGHTSLIST

I don't know where this is documented, or if it is!, but it seems to 
work fine here.  Good luck
