I'm going to leave these 2 questions to someone more knowledgable about
these than I (John Harlan?).

This one I can answer.  The ACQUIRE command allocates more space for you to
use, but it doesn't allocate it in your root directory.  The allocated
space is on a different disk and is pointed to by the logical TEMP.
Therefore, you can use the command:
 
    $ CD TEMP
 
to get to that other space.  If you do a SHOW QUOTA after you issue this
command, you'll see the amount of space you have.  Actually, you can issue
a SHOW QUOTA/DISK=TEMP command to see how much temporary space you have at
any time.  Realize that this space only lasts for 24 hours.
 
You can use the command:
 
    $ CD
 
to get back to your login directory.
