One thing you have to do is allow the apollo to execute the commands
from uux.  In theory, this means you have to have an entry in your L.sys
(or Permissions) file for each legal command.  The other way around the problem
would be to enable sh and csh. 
Your uux command would then be:

uux apollo!csh '<' command.list.file

Things get reall fun, though, if you want to use other files... 
You'd have to uucp (put) them over first.

File space allocation (another article..) No: disk space is all global within
a file system. 
 If you have 4 file systems mounted as / , /usr , /usr/dept , and /mnt.

removing a file from /mnt/a would make it's file space available anywhere
in /mnt (but not, for ex. in /usr). Similarly: removing something in 
/usr/dept/x/y would make space avalable anywhere in /usr/dept/... , but NOT in
/usr/lib (which is on the /usr filesystem).
