	A quick look at the code (gotta spend some time with my better half, if I know 
what's good for me), shows that decb does support a drive offset.

decb dir mydisks.dsk,:3  -  will show the directory of the 4th image in the 
file (or hang if there isn't one). (0 is the first and default drive number.)
