  26.    Sorta... the SUBST command creates a "virtual drive" that shows up 
  27. in file requesters just like A:, C:, etc.
  28.    Used like this:
  29.    
  30.        subst z: c:\work\company\objects
  31.    
  32.    Not really like the Amiga assign, but still useful.
  33.    (Don't know how LW would react to it... i.e.: would LW save the 
  34. object path with the virtual drive name or would it expand the path? 
  35. Haven't tried it.)
