Will do, this has been noted down in my "VMS cheatsheet" text file, it's about 200 KB right now.
BTW, I've just copied the files off of all the VAXhaven CDs onto SOLAR::, it's on a fast link too (100 / 100).

In the future, be *SPECIFIC* about both the source and alias when using the

The source is DKA0:[SYS0.DECNET] which I would like to appear as =

OK... You said "the source" is DKA0:[SYS0.DECNET]
Try:
$ SET FILE/ENTER=DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.APACHE.HTDOCS]DECNET.DIR;1 DKA0:[SYS0]DECNET.DIR;1

How do I make a link from SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECNET} to [.DECNET}?
I don't know enough details on exactly what you are doing to give a full
answer, but I do know this much:
Directories *must* have version ;1.
It is absolutely not cool to try and have one with version ;2
I would guess from the above that there already exists a
SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECNET]

That ;2 was because his command made file specification default assumptions.

The problem is that I don't know what SYS$SPECIFIC nor what APACHE$ROOT are!
There's a little DCL command called '$ SHOW LOGICAL' which would help here.
And, FWIW, all of this has been well explained in the "OpenVMS File System
Internals" book.
