:....it doesn't!  At least not if the CLI (or RUN) is searching the path;
:asking for a display of the current path with the PATH command itself WILL
:put up a requestor if the volume isn't mounted, but that's probably a good
:idea. (This is probably the cause of the misunderstanding.)

	Yes, but I can't put all the assign's I want in my startup
script because ASSIGN itself requires the destination be mounted before
it adds it to my path.  I want to put an arbitrary disk in an arbitrary
drive and be able to run commands from that disk's c directory (read:
whatever symbolic directory paths I choose) without having to do any
kind of initialization.

	It gets even worse when you have several CLI's lying around.
