Matt apparently has come to some of the same conclusions I have about this
issue, 1. Assigns are great and useful and commercial applications
should be able to use them. and 2. Auto-edit of the current startup
chain is about impossible.

However, I don't like Matt's idea of simply saying "the user must be 
able to follow instructions" when those instructions require he learn the
CLI, ED, and how to follow a startup chain himself so he can determine
where he should add the ASSIGN and PATH commands for a commercial
application that requires them.
