I have heard here, and elsewhere, that dollar signs ($) are "reserved"
by digital for their own use in logicals.  Nevertheless our system
managers have named our disks "PRODUCT$DISK" and such.  Could somebody
clarify exactly WHERE DEC states this policy (e.g. in 4.6 release notes
page blah-blah paragraph 87...) so I can go look it up.  Also, do device
names qualify as logicals, and/or just what does the restriction cover?
