Actually, Peter's answer is the best yet. Seeing as VOLUME can be a real physical device or a rooted logical, the rules are not generalizable as I stated.

Jordan's right, my user02 is already a rooted logical (concealed device) which is why my second example failed; it would have worked if user02 were a real device name. $ dir $5$dka102:[use2root.friedberg.tools.][com.fms] Directory $5$DKA102:[USE2ROOT.FRIEDBERG.TOOLS.][COM.FMS] FSC_GENERAL.DEVX;1 11/36 FSC_GENERAL.DIFF;1 3/36 FSC_GENERAL.PRDXX;1 11/36 Total of 3 files, 25/108 blocks.

No, but VOLUME:[foo.bar.][baz.biff]file.wif ^ (note the dot here) is equivalent to VOLUME:[foo.bar.baz.biff]file.wif Note that you only get one extension this way: VOLUME:[foo.][bar.][baz.biff]file.wif Does not work.
