- don't have a sub directory in the sub directory of !directory
- e.g that !run opens up <Device>.<path>.!directory
- (filer_opendir "<Obey$Dir>")
-
- NOT <device>.<path>.!directory.subdirectory
-
- The cost is having at least one file named !run in all of the !directories
- but you save on disc space by not having an addition subdir.
