Mike Ditto brings up a good point re: my example of ``ASSIGN HERE: "" ''

Been doing the same thing on multi-tasking/multi-user mainframes for over
2 decades, HOWEVER ...

- on the mainframes, the assigns were LOCAL to a process

- on the Amiga, the assigns are GLOBAL to the system

A workaround would be to append the CLI process number to the "here:"
(e.g. HERE1:, HERE2:, etc.).

Just another one of those thingies that works "only" 99.94% of the time!  :-)
