[VIM] VMS version doesn't do logicals?

[Uncle Jeff]

Hi all. Trailer - OpenVMS 7.1 Alpha, vim 5.7 binary d/l'd from
www.polarfox.com.

I was using version 4.5 for quite a while (where I got the binary, I
can't remember), and all was a-ok. Now after I've upgraded it seems
that vim scrambles the logical values I pass to it, so I can only open
files in my working directory.

For example, we have the following system logical defined to point to
part of our source tree:

DEVAXP:[SRC]> sh log system$dvsrc
"SYSTEM$DVSRC" = "DISK3:[FI.SRC.DV.SYSTEM]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

Now, if I either pass a file name as a command line argument _or_
try to open a file after vim is opened, like so:

vim system$dvsrc:start.p

The file name gets mangled exactly like so:

systemDISK3:[FI.SRC.DV]start.p

After vim is opened, I _can_ open the file if I use unix-like syntax:

:vi /disk3/fi/src/dv/system/start.p

But that is a pain. Like I said, it worked in the 4.5 version I was
using before. Any ideas?
