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.
