Which means that I can have

/u/appl/filepro/junk/key with
/u1/appl/filepro/junk/data and
/u2/appl/filepro/junk/*, etc.

But what would happen if I had

/u1/appl/filepro/junk/*
*and*
/u2/appl/filepro/junk/*?

And, the other half of my question, if I had 

/u1/appl/filepro/database1/* and
/u2/appl/filepro/database2/*?

Would both database1 and database2 show up in my dclerk menus?
