A full file specification has the form: node::device:[directory]filename.filetype;version This is an example of a complete file specification: OAK::LIMB4:[TWIG2]LEAF1.BAS Often the full file name is the only required part of a file specification. If you omit any other part, your current default values are used. Under certain circumstances, you can assign a logical name to access files not in your current default directory.
