Jim,
   
  There are several ways to list the output of the STORE command that do work...
   
  :LISTFILE /BACKUPS/PUB/,2  
   
  is just one....
   
  HTH,

Because I do not favour mixing the MPEiX and POSIX namespaces. 
They have separate conventions and separate commands. When I look 
for files in PUB.BACKUPS and use MPEiX style commands I will find 
that STORE apparently produced no output. Why should the burden be 
upon the user to recall where STORE squirrels away its output? Why 
can it not just put it where it was told via the file equations 
passed to the storeset parameter? What other utility arbitrarily 
decides to rename your output files and place them in a separate 
file system?

I care a very great deal about this. In fact, my experience with 
STORE this past few months has been terribly disillusioning.

Sincerely,
Jim
