If you have a network driver installed, File Manager enables the "Disk\Connect
Net Drive..." and "Disk\Disconnect Net Drive..." menu items. When you use
"Disk\Connect Net Drive..." you get a dialog prompting you for what drive to
connect and what network file service to connect to. 

This dialog also has a "Add to Previous List" check box and a "Previous..." 
button. These work in conjuction to provide the ability so save connections for
use in future sessions. This list is kept in the [previous] section in your 
WINFILE.INI file.
