I have X11r2 on my VAXstation, but if you're running the Dec-supplied X10,
the following should still hold true (according to the Dec documentation).

Looking at the xmh man page, I see the following:

Meta-I	Insert a file.

Since you're on a VAXstation, the "Compose Character" key is your meta key.
Try holding that key down and pressing 'i'.  If you have selected any text,
it will be interpreted as a file name to insert; if not, a little dialog box
will come up and prompt you for a file name.  (I just tried it, and it worked
OK for me; the only thing that you have to worry about is pressing the 
"Compose" and 'i' keys at the same time.)
