One minor addition to Mark's excellent tips...
>:xeq sh.hpbin.sys
>$ ln -s /BIXTEST/PUB /foobar
>$ ls -l /foobar
>lrwxrwxrwx 1 MANAGER.SYS 0 12 Oct 27 09:29 /foobar ->
/BIXTE
>ST/PUB
You can also use MPE commands to create and examine the symbolic link:
:NEWLINK /foobar , /BIXTEST/PUB
:LISTFILE /foobar ,7
Notice that NEWLINK gets parameters in a different order than /bin/ln -s does.
