The advantage is you can avoid providing non-random passwords (especially for the multi). You *HAVE* to provide all 3 passwords, but everything after that is ignored, so you're also not limited to 3 words. I include the '*' for readability, but it's not required. I doubt DIRMAINT or VMSECURE will let you do this, but if you do the directory by hand it works fine. Even better would be if the directory statement syntax recognized some delimiter as the start of a comment and ignored the remainder of that source line the same way it ignores immbedded comments in statements that can be continued across multiple source lines.
