[What? Me worry?]

My_question: is there a way to do an ASSIGN without having to insert the
disk being ASSIGNed to? For instance, I would like to assign dp: to
deluxepaint: (my picture disk) in my startup-sequence, also arc: to whatever
long pathname the latest version of arc is on, etc. I need to access these
disks frequently. But I don't want to HAVE to insert them whenever the
ASSIGNs are carried out (only 1 drive! argh!).

Possibly under 1.2 ASSIGN? Or is there a utility program to do this (ie
recognize the string without first examining the file/directory)?

Thanks in advance,

John Russell
