OK, this is good.

There should be no trailing quote on the invocation command line.  The
command that should be run is:

REDIRECT ADD ROUTE.SYS "/data/mcidas

To verify that the REDIRECTion worked, run:

DMAP ROUTE.SYS

You should get back a listing like:

DMAP ROUTE.SYS
PERM      SIZE LAST CHANGED FILENAME  DIRECTORY
---- --------- ------------ --------- ---------
-rw-     15616 Sep 21 16:55 ROUTE.SYS data/mcidas
15616 bytes in 1 files

The LAST CHANGED (and potentially SIZE) will be different, but the DMAP
output will tell you if your McIDAS-X session "sees" the file.

>ROUTE REL UI UV UW
>ROUTE: Product file does not exist: See ROUTE INIT
>
>What does this mean?

It means that the REDIRECT command did not work.  Try running the command
without the trailing quote and then the DMAP command.  If you see the file
in the DMAP listing, and if the file is really writable by 'mcidas', you
should be able to alter its contents (e.g., RELease products).
