I think the .SNAME was used because that was at one time
the reason for it - namely a subsystem was started with the
default directory from the .sname (or was it .msname), but
of course when you log in, this is initialized to the .UNAME
One problem is changing it now is that there is a status
call (STATUS UDIR) which currently gets the .SNAME, and
there is currently no (STATUS XUNAME) [but there is (STATUS UNAME)].
