Using the PATH option of the ASSIGN command reduces disk swaps by directing AmigaDOS to search any disk in a given drive for the command it requires. Normally AmigaDOS displays a requester asking for the original boot disk even when the currently inserted disk contains the necessary file.
Add the following commands to your User-startup script to use the PATH option:
ASSIGN DEVS: DF0:Devs PATH
ASSIGN C: DF0:C PATH
ASSIGN L: DF0:L PATH
ASSIGN FONTS: DF0:Fonts PATH
Then copy these directories from the Workbench disk onto application disks that require them.
For more information on the PATH option of the ASSIGN command, see the ASSIGN command in Chapter 6.
