Well, "Only if they are both in the "/u1:/u2/appl/filepro" directory."
certainly doesn't answer anything.  ;-)

If PFDATA on a Unix machine contains /u1:/u2, and /u1/$PFDIR/filepro
and /u2/$PFDIR/filepro both contain fully populated filePro database
directories with disjoint names, will the file list presented by
dclerk, et al, contain all the files names from both directories?
