     What do you mean 'check for an environment vector'?  There seem to be so
many different ways of finding out whether a device is a disk or not (I've seen
three in the last few days), I wonder which is the best.
     Of course this also brings up the issue of what actually should be
displayed in a file requester device list.  Should assigns be displayed (it can
be really handy if they are).  Should the drive name or the volume name be
displayed, or both?
