Your probably confusing Qdesign because you have placed PROCLOC=S_LOC: in
your QD symbol.  Therefore Qdesign is looking in that directory first and
finding the 'myfile' you mention at you QD command.

VMS logicals can have a list of more than one directory name. I miss this
on Unix.

If you have two directories but you want one searched first for a file do
something like the following:

	DEFINE S_LOC "sys$login,<dir2>,<dir3>"

This will cause all applications and commands to go though the list in the
order you'v defined directories.  

Now you can do this to find you personal copy of the file:
	QD AUTO=myfile

You won't need to place the logical name here because it is in your QD
symbol.
