I look at it as commands with ;ONVS affect the directory on the UV.
        NEWACCT, NEWGROUP,  PURGEACCT, PURGEGROUP.
The commands need to be done to the system (default) directory as well
in order for the system
to see the user accounts/groups. All other attributes like password,
caps, security are only kept in
the system directory.
        You can have accounts and groups on your UV with no access
because they don't exist
in your system directory. (Do a REPORT @.@;ONVS=xxxx). I found this by
moving a disk from system A
to system B. All files come across, just had to do NEWACCT,NEWGROUP for
system.
        I guess the ;HOMEVS on NEW/ALT-GROUP command tells the system
dir where the storage is to be.
The only problem I have with this that both commands PURGEGROUP xxxx
and PURGEGROUP xxxx;ONVS=yyyy
purge all the files.

It would be nice if the PURGEGROUP xxxx only removed the system dir copy
with no actual file purging if HOMEVS
not equal to MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET. And only the PURGEGROUP
xxxx;ONVS=yyyy would do the file purging.
