I am a beginner in VMS, coming from UNIX. Trying to create a new
directory under the current directory, but forgot to use the '.'.

create /directory [newdir]

Now I cannot find where this dir is created. Please help!



I will not automatically assume SYS$DISK was referring to the MFD. It may
have been that your default was USERS:[BJONES] at the time you issued the
command. In that case, you should be able to:
$ set protection=w:rwed [000000]newdir.dir
$ delete [000000]newdir.dir;
and the directory will be gone.
USERS could easily be a rooted logical whose equivalence is something like:
DISK$DATA:[USERS.]
(in the system logical name table and the concealed attribute.)
.
