For people on newer versions of VMS and ODS5 disks (I never tried it
on ODS2 but I assume you need ODS5 for this to work) you can also use
this syntax;

AXP800::> dir/file sys$manager:operator ! Find a FID to test

Directory SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]

OPERATOR.LOG;145     (18580,357,0)

Total of 1 file.
AXP800::> dir sys$manager:~[18580,357,0] ! If you know the directory
to search then this works

Directory SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]

OPERATOR[18580,357,0].LOG;145

Total of 1 file.
AXP800::> dir sys$sysdevice:[000000...]~[18580,357,0]  ! You have to
wait to search the whole tree

Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS0.SYSMGR]

OPERATOR[18580,357,0].LOG;145

Total of 1 file.
