Function
ASSIGN creates a reference to a file or directory. The reference
is a logical device name which makes it very convenient to specify
assigned objects using the reference instead of their paths.
If the NAME and TARGET arguments are given, ASSIGN assigns the
given logical name to the specified target. If the NAME given is
already assigned to a file or directory the new target replaces the
previous target. A colon must be included after the NAME argument.
If only the NAME argument is given, any assigns to that NAME are
removed. If no arguments whatsoever are given, all logical
assigns are listed.
