One of my colleagues is ``doing some hard time on MVS'' (his words).  I
showed him efs and understandably he was interested.

He is keen to give efs for MVS a good work out--it's his daily grind...

However before we go reporting bugs we need to know the expected
functionality; here are his questions regarding the current capabilities:

+ Level of support for PDS's - can PDS's be browsed in dired ?
                             - retrieval of PDS members what is the syntax ?

+ Can it access data sets other than the users 'home' data set ? If so
  what is the syntax. At the moment it seems to try a rename on data
  sets to see if they exist, if the user is not the owner they don't have
  the permissions to do a rename, an error message is generated which is
  interpreted to mean the file does not exist.

Can whoever wrote the current MVS stuff enlighten him (or me :-)? 

I've not committed any mvs-punisable crimes so I don't really understand the
questions...
