Directory control records reside in DIRMAP files and enable you to:

Identify files you want VM:Webgateway to serve
Logically group files you want to serve
Allow users to identify a file to serve by specifying only the filename in the URL
Allow users to identify a file to serve by a character string
Specify a file you want VM:Webgateway to serve when a user identifies a directory in a URL

VM:Webgateway ignores blank lines in DIRMAP files.

Directory control records must precede the first access control record in a DIRMAP file.

The directory control records are:

Record	Purpose
Comment	Enables you to place comments in DIRMAP and ACCESS files.
DIR	Points to another DIRMAP file.
FILE	Identifies a file VM:Webgateway can serve.
INDEX	Specifies the file VM:Webgateway should serve if a URL does not identify a file.
