This must have been asked many times.

I have a NEC PowerMate 286+ with two internal floppy drives (5.25" and 3.5").
These are set up as A: and B:, respectively.  Periodically, I need to be able
to switch the logical names (so that the A: drive is the 3.5" and the B: drive
is 5.25").  Ideally, this would be done with a command file.

Can anyone clue me in on how to do it?  I'm currently running under DOS3.2, but
I will soon be upgrading to DOS4.0.

Thanks for your help.
