While in CLI type ASSIGN by itself and press return.
It will list out all the logical devices.

See all the devices that are assigned to the workbench disk? Like FONTS:
L:, LIB:, SYS:, etc??

You have to reassign each of those to the appropriate directory on DF1:

Like: Assign FONTS: df1:fonts
      Assign SYS: DF1:
      Assign L: DF1:L

and so on...

Best thing to do is put it all into a file and then execute the file whenever
you want to reassign them.
