It is not possible to write an Well, I should amend that. If there were yet another standard script file for assigns then it would be extremely easy to write an install program for it. So if all the companies got together, or commodore specified a specific file name (s:startup-assigns ?) that will be executed and that contained *nothing* except assign commands, then the user need only stick an 'execute s:startup-assigns' in the appropriate place in his startup sequence. Commercial software install programs would then always add their assigns only to this file, and can also check to make sure they aren't adding it twice (i.e. you install the program several times in frustration). -Matt
