Oops.  I meant to post the next paragraph also.  It's a bit more
explicit (and has fewer grammatical errors).

     The following algorithm  is  used  to  match  files  to  the
     appropriate  ASM  specification.  First the .nsr file in the
     current directory (if any) is scanned from top to bottom for
     an  ASM  specification  without  a leading "+" whose pattern
     matches the file name.  If no match is found, then the  .nsr
     in the current directory is re-scanned for an ASM specifica-
     tion with a leading "+" whose pattern matches the file  name
     (for  clarity,  we  recommend  placing all propagating ("+")
     directives after all the  non-propagating  directives  in  a
     .nsr  file).  If no match is found, then the .nsr file found
     in the ".." directory (if any) is scanned from top to bottom
     looking  for  a  match  with an ASM specification that has a
     leading +.  This process continues until the  .nsr  file  in
     the "/" directory (if any) is scanned.  If no match is found
     (or a match is found with an ASM specification whose name is
     the  same  as the currently running ASM), then the currently
     running ASM will handle the save of the file.

Notice that this means that .nsr files are valid all the way up the
directory tree of whereever it is currently mounted.
