Thank you very much for the hint.  I will eventually get around to 
doing something of this nature.  But I am still irked that such 
gymnastics are even necessary.  The only beneficial things that 
have come out of this experiment is that I have discovered that 
using the storeset=(*bkref) creates all of the store files in the 
HFS which simplifies the transfer scripts on and off the HP3000; 
and that a file equate to the MPEiX filename used in the STORE 
*bkref when passed to RESTORE retrieves the files from the HFS 
namespace transparently to the user.

So, even if it is not the best of all possible worlds, neither is 
it the worst (which is the STORE default of mixed namespace names 
for multiple file STD sets).

Regards,
Jim
