It sounds like you want a PD (or maybe shareware) program called PathAss.
Basically, it combines the Path and Assign commands so that you can say
things like:

     PathAss LinkedDrawer: df0:drawer1,df1:drawer2

Then, when you do "dir LinkedDrawer:", you get the union of the two
drawers.  For floppy users it is probably most useful for splitting
fonts: accross multiple disks.

Hope this helps.
