Dave,
Assuming the application has been seen by the filer, you can use something like this: -
Filer_OpenDir <myapp$dir>
Obviously you need to replace the myapp$dir with the relevant bit from the application's !Run or !Boot file.

Not sure what you mean but if you want to specify the hard disc part without mentioning the disc name you can use the disc number, which is 4 for your first hard disc, so the above would become Filer_OpenDir ADFS::4.$.!Application This can be useful to create obey files that still work even if the hard disc is renamed.

Thanks Martin, that was the one I was after.
Cheers Dave S
PS: Thanks also to Paul, though that wasn't the one I was thinking of. D.

If your target is on the same drive as the one with your !Boot directory, then I would tend to use something like:
Boot:^.Apps.!Application
or something like that. This doesn't assume the drive name, drive number or file system type (ADFS, ATAFS, etc).
Ta,
