Tools like PURGE (just a variant of DELETE) simply gives that filespec to LIB$FILE_SCAN 
and keep getting filenames back.  What is the "next file" that you speak of?  Different name 
in same directory?  Same name in different directory?  Different DID and DEVICE from the
last file? (I think that's what you want)

And do you want that form of /CONFIRM=UNTIL_THE_NEXT_FILE to work on other verbs
like RENAME, SET FILE, etc?
