                                   ASSIGN
        Causes a request for one drive to be routed to another drive
                          See also <SUBST> <JOIN>

COMMAND TYPE: External                  VERSION: 2.0 and up

USE: ASSIGN [x [=] y[...]]

Requests for drive 'x' are routed to drive 'y'.
ASSIGN entered without parameters will reset any ASSIGNments.

EXAMPLE: ASSIGN A=C
   After issuing this command, any requests for drive A: will access
drive C:. e.g.  DIR A: will list the files on drive C:.
   ASSIGN is provided to allow programs written for a specific drive
(usually a: or b:) to be used on other drives.  Commands which require
information about the drive (backup, restore, label, join, subst,
print) should not be used on ASSIGNed drives.  ASSIGN should not be
used except where needed for a particular program.  The SUBST command
is the preferred method of reassigning drives and/or paths.  <FORMAT>
and <DISKCOPY> ignore drive reassignments.
