@macto

Applications need to support multiassigns to take advantage of other than the first assign destination. Shell does this for C:, ramlib does this for DEVS: (OpenDevice) and LIBS: (OpenLibrary).

Dir, List etc don't support multiassigns, only the first assign destination is listed.

If you only want to use SYS:MyDevs/ as your Devs drawer (though I can't think why you'd do that), you can use "Assign DEVS: DISMOUNT" and then "Assign DEVS: WB2:MyDevs" to reassign it.

That would be "Assign DEVS: REMOVE" not "Assign DEVS: DISMOUNT".

Thank-you for that bit. Now was there any point in the past when ramlib didn't support multiple assigns for Devs: (eg. I'm using Workbench 2.04)?

AmigaOS 2.x supports multiassigns for ramlib.
