Your syntax is the correct one. It's just that the current version has a new
part that was written specifically to deal with VMS and that does not
suppose you need to ditinguish between different disks on the machine - I
will have to have a look what the URL specification says in this case as my
feeling is that there is no way of specifying things like
"C:/directory/file" or "USERDISK:[DIRECTORY.FILE]" given the current URL
form. Let's hope I'm wrong ...
