    1.$ SHOW TRANSLATION SYS$LOGIN
        SYS$LOGIN = "DISK$:[DALTON]"  (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
         .
         .
         .
      MAIL> SHOW MAIL_DIRECTORY
      Your mail file directory is DISK$:[DALTON]
      MAIL> SET MAIL_DIRECTORY [.MAIL]
      %MAIL-I-CREATED, DISK$:[DALTON.MAIL] created
      MAIL> SHOW MAIL_DIRECTORY
      Your mail file directory is DISK$:[DALTON.MAIL]
         .
         .
         .
      $ SET DEFAULT [DALTON.MAIL]
      $ DIRECTORY

      This example shows how to create a subdirectory containing all
      your .MAI files. The DCL command SHOW TRANSLATION displays the
      logical name for your default top-level directory, SYS$LOGIN.
