Figure 1-6 Context in a Directory tree
When you move from one container object to another, you change contexts.
Whenever you change contexts, indicate the complete name of the object
you are changing the contexts to.
If you are referring to an object that is in the same container object as your
User object, you only need to refer to that object by its common name,
instead of by its complete name.
For example, in the previous figure, if the User object ESAYERS located in
SALES PV.SALES.HEWLETT-PACKARD US wants information on User
object ESMITH located in the same context, then ESAYERS need only refer
to the User object as ESMITH.
