I put the following lines in my startup-sequence:
	Makedir ram:t ram:env ram:clips
	Assign T: ram:t ENV: ram:env CLIPS: ram:clips

Makedir creates all three directories (as it should), but Assign only performs
the first assignment (T: is the only of the 3 logicals that is attached to 
anything after the machine boots).

The weird thing is, that if I perform the Assignment from the CLI after the
machine has booted, Assign is more than happy to play with multiple arguments.

Am I making some foolish error?  The ARP docs certianly seem to think I am
doing the right thing.

System:
	A2000 (KS1.3,WB1.3.2,ARP1.3)
	1Meg Agnus
	2 floppies

Any help would be appreciated!
