** Need a better way to use 'WhereIs' **

Hi,

Recently I decided it would be nice to use the WhereIs command to check for 
a file's location on ALL the drives, rather then one drive at a time. But when 
I tried to use the command to go from one drive to the other on its own, it 
stopped on the frist drive and quit.

Reading another post on here, I got the idea to use the Assign command. Here 
is what I tried...

Assign WI: DH0:
Assign WI: DH1: add
Assign WI: DH2: add
Assign WI: DH3: add
Assign WI: DH4: add

..then I typed...

WhereIs WI: *.zip

..when it was done searching DH0: it quit instead of going onto the next 
drive or doing all drives at the sametime. I figured it would of done one or 
the other. So is there a better way to have this command hunt for files in ALL 
the drives (one after the other) or do I need another command altogether?

Thanks,

Michael (shotgun@slip.net)
