Ah that bit does make sense, logicals are why we can see more than one
directory. 

This makes sense:

$ sh def
  SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
  =   SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]
  =   SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]

So, it is the logicals that are used with dir to show us the files and
folders. Pretty nifty, just have to make sure when I add files, I need
to be in the correct folder, yes? By default it puts files into the
first directory, as you've mentioned previously.
