               TRANSPARENT NETWORK DIRECTORY PROCEDURE
               ---------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The referenced procedure can be invoked, transparent to the user, to
allow the access of remote directory information.  Although designed
for remote RSX11M systems, modification for other types of remote
nodes should be straight forward.

COMPILATION PROCEDURE

LINKING PROCEDURE
-----------------

No linking required.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
-------------------

The use of this procedure requires the definition of system logical names
for the remote devices.  These definitions must include the node names.

	EG: "$ ASSIGN/SYSTEM NODENAME::DP1: DP1:"

Further, the following line should appear in SYSLOGIN.COM:

	"DIR:==@SYSCMD:DIRECTORY"
	(Where SYSCMD is the location of the file DIRECTORY.COM)

Beyond this, the use of the procedure is completely transparent to the
user except that if the device specified is remote to the host then
a network operation takes place in order to get the directory.
