John, I think you CAN do exactly what you want, using PathMan and the regular ASSIGN command. PathMan interprets any 'assigns' in its list each time the 'path' is called. That means that is your PathMan list includes 'lib:' as one of it's locations, then you can later reassign 'lib:' to another directory and PathMan will follow it whereever you go. Make sense? So, think of any ASSIGNed names in the PathMan list as being able to be 'cut and snipped' like you said. Works fine. Only ding I find is that if you later want to GET RID of an assign altogether, so you so a 'ASSIGN LIB:', (ie. killing the lib: assignment); well, each time you access it you will get a requestor asking for that killed dir. Solution seems to be to just 'ASSIGN LIB: dh0:EMPTY' and assign it to an empty drawer. Same effect. –jp–seattle–
