Luis,
It looks like you are right. It was probably on OCR error that never got corrected. There are a lot of OCR errors in the nitros9 docs.... B that should be 8, O that should be 0, S that should be 5, 1 and l (L) and I (i) are constantly mistaken... etc... etc...

I think there is a small error in the documentation of NitrOS-9 tecnical
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/nitros9/index.php?title=NitrOS-9_Technical_Reference

PD.FST is 12 Bytes
SAYS 
PD.FST is 12-byte and should be 22

PD.FST$OA22Defined by the file managerPD.OPT$2032Reserved for the 
GetStat/SetStat optionsPD.FST is 12-byte storage reserved for and defined by 
each type of file manager for file pointers, permanent variables, and so 
on.PD.OPT is a 32-byte option area used for file or device operating parameters 
that are dynamically alterable. When the path is opened, the I/O manager 
initializes these variables by copying the initialization table that is in the 
device descriptor module. User programs can change the values later, using the 
Get Status and Set Status system calls.
