I'm trying to setup user Devs:, C:, etc. assigns. To do so, I've added lines like:
ASSIGN Devs: WB2:MyDevs ADD
To my user-startup file. According to the manual and various websites (such as this one:
http://www.amigarealm.com/archives/thisoldworkbench/html/towb23.html) this should be possible. Then I do:
ASSIGN
And surely enough the expected paths are displayed. Then I do:
DIR Devs:
or
LIST Devs:
And I only see the files in one of the paths (namely WB2:Devs, which was assigned by the system.) I go through the same thing for C: and have the same symptoms. Fine.
Now I try to do something with these new paths. Stuff in the system and user C: assign seem to work. The stuff in the Devs: assign doesn't seem to work. Is there anything unique about Devs: which would explain why this doesn't work, or should I be looking for the problem elsewhere.
