$vol specifies the default volume, and subvol specifies the default
subvolume.
If no GUARDIAN VOLUME is specified, the default subvolume is set to
$SYSTEM.NOSUBVOL.
INITIAL-DIRECTORY [dir-path]
specifies the initial working directory within the OSS file system for the alias.
dir-path is a case-sensitive text string of up to 256 characters. It must be a

If you omit dir-path, no pathname is used.

If you omit prog-path, no pathname is used.

If CI-PROG prog-filename is omitted in the alias authentication record, the
Safeguard software starts the PROG (with associated parameters) in the
definition record for the terminal at which the alias logs on. If no PROG is
specified in the terminal definition record, the Safeguard software starts the CI-
