Is there any way to fool the system into letting you do multiple
assigns to multiple directories.
 
I mean, is there a way to let me do something like this:

assign c: sys:c partition1:c partition3:neatcommands

Instead of using paths.

Also, I'm having a whopper of a bad time with the program SetFont.
I like running in interlace, and I use my own 16 point font (same size
as topaz, but smoother).  Anyway, I find I also have to "Expunge"
libraries every now and then or I start to loose my mind.  When I
expunge, or start to run low on memory, then my pretty font dies.

Several things can happen:  The font can simply dis-appear, or garbage
can fill the font.  Usualy, if I don't do another setfont quickly,
the machine will guru.

Also, ever since I moved to workbench 1.3, I've noticed something weird
with the way the system adopts fonts.

It used to be that once I set a font, and opened up a new cli, or window,
or something, that the title bar would now be the same height of my
window.  This looked pretty.  But ever since I've moved to 1.3, the window
title bar stays the same height of topaz 8, but whenever I activate the
window, the name of the window is rendered in the new font (so it sticks
it's ugly head into the window).

My startup sequence is approx. as follows:


(important stuff)
mount vdk:
cd vdk:
setpatch >nil:
ReadClock
Setfont Pons
FF
Runback -s4000 Qmouse -b -r
wait 3
runback c:faccII
wait 4
rexxmast

help would be appreciated.
