My VMS memories are somewhat weak (I helped this happen through liberal ingestion of alcohol after I did my 2 year sentence in VMS hacking - FABs and RABs and XABS, oh my! I still sometimes wake up sweating), but I'd think that a UNIX equivalent would want 3 different levels of hierarchy: system, user, process (in that order). I think that the user variables would be especially interesting in the kinds of things you could do with them. Then you'd want to teach namei() about them for those, nudge nudge, variant symlinks! :-) Jordan
