This really isn't the correct approach at all. Instead, do this:
$ create 'file_2_find'
$ open/append config 'file_2_find'
This will create a native VMS text file that any VMS-based editor, including
the ported ones, will like. No FDL file manipulation needed and no
Stream_LF file created (which is not the native format of a text file,
anyway).
