JP: I tried using PathAssign for multiple paths but found it was too slow and had other problems. If PathMan sets up an icon on the WB, I don't want it. As for 2.0 ASSIGN, only the first assigned directory will be accessed by everything (list, type, which, execute, etc) the other multiple(s) will only be used as an executable filename directly on a CLI. For example: Assign S: Sys:S Work:S Will assign the S: to SYS:S and Work:S If you LIST S:you will only see SYS:S. EXECUTE and WHICH will also only see SYS:S. If you have a script with the S bit set you can execute it directly on the CLI. For example: Test.txt Will execute the Text.txt script if the S bit is set even if it is in the Work:S directory. I would think 2.0 OS would handle this, not the above mentioned programs but it doesn't. JohnB 76256,3436 – via Whap!
