RT11 all versions use a single flat directory per drive.
dir DX0: (version 4.x 5.x) would list the directory for the first
RX01 floppy.

You should be able to do the same with du0: through du4:

Older versions didn't have the DCL built on top of the lower level
commands and pip dx0:*.* /li (I think) would get a directory list.

It's been over 15 years since I did the latter.

My brain may have dropped bits on that one.
