As you all know (don't you?) you can assign logical volume/device
names to physical disk drive names such as:
assign Source: df0:
assign Destination: DF1:
diskcopy source: to destination:
Useful?, yes, for some things.
Did you know you can also assign logical volume/device names to sub-
directories? Such as:
assign from: df0:devs/printers
assign to: ram:
copy from: to to:
*BUT* the *FUN* one you may not have noticed is that you can assign
to FILE NAMES (read commands). For example:
assign x: c:execute
assign e: c:ed
assign cc: df1:c/LC
then use them like:
x: startup-sequence
e: my_text_file
cc: foo -i df1:include
Assigns are SYSTEM WIDE, NOT unique to each window.
Have fun!
