No OS I am familiar with has a "sys admin MFD".

Every multiuser OS I am familiar with has a sys admin account (as
one of several users), and something equivalent to a top level
directory on a given device, and something equivalent to the user's
home directory for each user.

MFD has a specific meaning which appears not relevant here.

Which one do you want?

My first guess was that you want the system manager's home
directory, which is sys$manager.

Yes. When logging in as system on my own VMS.

 However, if you are logging on
to someone else's VMS box (e.g. DECUServe), my first guess is
probably wrong.

I have noted with decuserve, signing in as a user other than "System", your 
rights are of course limited. The system has been tailored by the "System" 
account. Ok then I suppose I should be learning MFD and UFD. Which is what I 
have on decuserve.
