Sounds like you've got two versions of Assign in your system.  It is possible
that the startup-sequence is executing the C= Assign (which does not handle
multiple assignments), then it sets up your path so that any further calls
to assign invoke the ARP assign.  Does this sound possible?

Try typing  which assign  to see how many versions of assign are in your path
and in what order they are accessed.
