There's a cool feature of the Drive Connect command (from File
Manager) that I can't seem to reproduce from DOS, which is too bad.
That is, you can *really* map a drive to a subdirectory on a Novell
volume.  So even if map drive X to a subdirectory, I can't do this:

	X:
	CD ..

I consider this a feature; it allows you to hide the position of a
hierarchy of directories.  It's like letting SUBST work on network
drives.

However, there doesn't seem to be any Novell command line incantation
that produces the same result.  What exactly is or is not going on
here ?
