     When you do "DIR <LISPUSERS>CROCK LENGTH", you get dir info on'
CROCK.TTY & CROCK.DCOM as well.  I think this behaviour should only'
occur if you typed "CROCK*", making DIR consistent with PHYLUM''s'
LIST, though I notice that "DIR <LISPUSERS>CROCK. LENGTH" gets me'
what I want.'

I''m declining this one.  As you point out, to get what you want, you say "DIR FOO." to explicitly say you are talking about null extension.  The model here is Twenex, not the IFS, which doesn''t really know about extensions.'
