	Which three unused bits are you talking about?  There are a total
	of 10 unused (reserved) bits in the access word.  Here are the
	values for the access word:

		bits 15-8	reserved, must be zero
		bit 7		0 = destroy disabled
				1 = destroy enabled
		bit 6		0 = rename disabled
				1 = rename enabled
		bit 5		0 = backup not needed
				1 = backup needed
		bits 4-3	reserved, must be zero
		bit 2		0 = file is visible
				1 = file is invisible
		bit 1		0 = write disabled
				1 = write enabled
		bit 0		0 = read disabled
				1 = read enabled

	If any other bits are set, they shouldn't be.
