File Structure

  The ANALYZE/RMS_FILE utility imposes a hierarchical tree structure
  on top of the internal RMS file structure.  This tree structure allows
  you to easily wander around in the RMS file and inspect the various
  data structures.  Each data structure in the file represents a node
  in the tree, with a branch for each pointer in the structure.

  The interactive mode of ANALYZE/RMS_FILE maintains an item called the
  "structure pointer".  The commands allow you to move this pointer
  through the tree structure and examine the file.

New features

   There are 3 new commands in ANALYZE/RMS_FILE in Version 4.4 of the
   operating system.  For more information, see the HELP for the respective
   commands.

                  [/RECORD  record_offset]

Radix

   All numbers entered as arguments to interactive ANALYZE/RMS_FILE commands
   are assumed to be in decimal notation.  You can enter a hexadecimal
   number using the form %Xn (e.g. NEXT %X2F) or %X'n' (e.g. NEXT %X'2F').
