The DD as a whole is not structured as a file, so that each "entry" would be
organized as the definition for that file.
(because there isn't a ^DD(0) node, nor are there any "cross
references" on the whole DD, but there are 0-nodes for each file.).
But the root "^DD(" followed by the file (or sub-file) number does
have the form of a file itself. So use of a $ORDER For loop as an
iterator could easily do most of what you want...
