What I generally do is rely on ^%ZISH to work with host files and not the "HFS" device. I haven't tested in on GT.M, but I do know ^%ZISH handles paths well under both Windows and VMS. It basically follows the Java model of separating the file name from the directory name and allows you to specify them independently.

Because the syntax in the filename could well contain a path, it is very difficult to impossible to hardcode it. It would be better to give someone the option of manually specifying the file (including the path) or let them define a parameter that would identify the default path. That way, they can focus on the filename and let the parameter complete the task. Of course, my suggestion is based on a educated guess as to how your tool might be used... ;-)

Definitely, every system should have an HFS device. I believe KIDS
needs an HFS device before you can create a host file distribution.
