Yes you can, see Set_MFS in the PREF. I don't understand the 2nd part of your question. All you need is a MFS (quickdex etc..)

Geoff,
Just a few pointers for MFS development in OpenInsight:
1) Develop MFS subroutines in SYSPROG only
2) Never do I/O (including the OPEN statement) in the INSTALL portion of the MFS

John - sorry for the delay in relying!!
The second part of my question refers to the fact that in AREV you could add an MFS which could be qiute complexand sophisticated because you could check the various RTP actions on the file concerned and get your MFS code to behave accordingly. As far as I can see this is not possible in OI - or is it?

All the MFS's I've moved from OpenInsight to ARev moved complete and without changing a line of code.
The MFS sits on top of the Linear Hash filing system and is not really a part of ARev or OpenInsight.
You should be able to install your MFS almost exactly as you did in ARev. The only things you need to do are
