I can't get PATH: to do anything but Guru.  I create a file, 'c', on PATH:
with the following contents:

RAM:
RAD:C/
DF0:C/
DF1:

The program 'ls' resides on df0:c, and the Shell directory pointer is set
to RAD:.  When I issue the 'ls' command, the system gurus.  If it will
help, I will do it again and provide the Meditation number.

As for PathAss, it seems to work very well with two exceptions:  Any
attempt to use PathAss on the l: directory causes a hang, probably because
path-handler is in l: and is open at the time it attempts to do the
re-assignment.

Also, PathAss does not preserve the pure bit when opening a file.  That is,
things like this happen:

SYS: 1> PathAss c: ram:,rad:c,df0:c,df1:
SYS: 1> c:Resident c:Copy
Pure bit not set
Cannot load c:Copy

This can be circumvented by using the 'pure' option of Resident, but that
defeats the purpose of having a pure bit in the first place.

Can anyone suggest ways to solve the problems with PATH: and PathAss?
