   I have a CSYS boot disk for C development and an ASYS boot disk for
assembler development.  Both contain a script which reassigns all logical
assignments to a named volume.  I use the script when I switch between
the C and assembler environments.  

   I can execute the swap script and then do a loadwb.  The system does
not ask me to replace the original boot disk.

   You probably have a lock on something on the original boot disk.
Such a lock would probably cause WB to request the disk before putting
up an icon for it (it puts up an icon for any disk there's a lock on).
The lock could happen if one of the path commands in the startup-sequence
got executed before your CTRL-D.  Those paths are stored as locks and
therefore do not change just because logical assignments did.

   Try doing a PATH RESET (and if you wish, new PATH ADDs for directories
on the otherworkbench) before doing your loadwb.
