       for the list of attributes that your application uses.  attribute-value The value of a particular attribute.  The value of an  application-

       The add directory command adds a value to a modifiable, set-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes) of a directory.	If
       the attribute does not exist, this command creates it.  Usually, this task is performed through the client application.	See the DCE Admin-
       istration Guide for more information about attributes.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the directory.

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

       shown in the following display exists:

		 OID	     LABEL	     SYNTAX
