Sorry!  I'm sure you're right.  I was trying to do that from memory.  We
have VMS here, but I don't use it now.  I haven't used it since 1994.

Oh well.  I guess it doesn't exist then.

I'm thinking that for a particular program, I could write a script to call
the program and deal with the filenames.  Would be hard for some programs,
maybe, but for some it could be relatively easy.  Ever do it before?
