I've been puzzling over this too. However, something is wrong with the
information provided.

:RESTORE *T;@[log in to unmask]@;/QDX/@/@;DIRECTORY;CREATE;OLDDATE;KEEP

is invalid. In particular, the ";/QDX/@/@" clause generates an error on my
system:

TURBO-STORE/RESTORE  VERSION  C.65.19  B5151AA

and is not a supported syntax. Replace the ";" with "," and it is valid, if
not particularly meaningful. So what really is going on here?
