There's no confusion.  PREFIX('PT.') is supported on F specs, to allow
you to have your file use the subfields of a qualified data structure. 
Your file fields and your D spec fields aren't separate; the I-specs
(program described or compiler-generated) just say to move the buffer
contents to the named field.  (The compiler _will_ generate a definition
from the I spec, but only if the field isn't already defined in D
specs.)
