AssignPath

Creates an assignment to a specified path (V36)

Sets up an assignment that is expanded upon EACH reference to the name. This is implemented through a new device list type (DLT_ASSIGNPATH, or some such). The path (a string) would be attached to the node. When the name is referenced (Open("FOO:xyzzy"...), the string will be used to determine where to do the open. No permanent Lock will be part of it. For example, you could AssignPath() c2: to df2:c, and references to c2: would go to df2:c, even if you change disks.

The other major advantage is assigning things to unmounted volumes, which will be requested upon access (useful in startup sequences).
