Well, sort of, but the parts of CP that want to read the directory don't know that. :-) The directory is memory mapped into the CP execution space (I think) and is paged in on demand, so a second reference might find the needed parts of the directory already in memory. I don't know all the gory details. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
