Your message seemed to indicate that when a file is created using a directory specification containing a search list, such as SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB], and a version of the file already exists in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB], the new file will be created in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB] if your UIC matches the UIC of the file and/or the directory, but will be created in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] otherwise. Experiments on my system indicate that the new file is always created in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB]. I can't decide how to reconcile the apparent contradiction.
