Since there is no consistent results, I am thinking of have the default
VMS mode for abs_path be the same as it is now, syntax only.
When VMS 0DS-5 mode is activated, the abs_path routine will work the
same as on UNIX. I will have to make a few adjustments because the
alternate VMS code currently requires the file to exist as well as the path.
