When you ASSIGN c: to RAM:c, CLI will look in RAM: forevermore for any
command not found in the currently logged directory <and> not preceded by a
path specification. This means that to access a command NOT in RAM: <or>
the CURRENTLY LOGGED DIRECTORY, you MUST precede the command name with the
full path specification.
However, new to 1.2 is the command PATH. It has two useful options,
PATH ADD and PATH SHOW. PATH ADD RAM: in your startup-sequence file will
automatically cause RAM: to be searched for any commands not in the
currently logged directory. Only if it is still not found in RAM: will the
system request the WB disk. This will defeat the "unknown command" caused
(sometimes) by ASSIGN. PATH SHOW is useful to refresh your memory
regarding currently set search path. Also, PATH followed by a search path
will replace the current search path with the one specified in the
command.
