Well, if you had ever used an IBM-type computer before you'd get it.  The 
idea of 'assigns' are kinda unique to the Amiga.  On the PCs they can 
only assign a single letter to indicate a drive or 'assign'.

Hey, it could get worse!  On a Mac you can't assign ANYTHING! :^)

P.S.  What's the big deal, anyway?  If you can assign 'PROJECTS:' to 
'DH9:Imagine3.0/WackyStuff/Projects', why can't you just assign 'P:' to 
the same path?  If you aren't gonna distribute anything you do, it 
doesn't make a difference.  If you are, you've saved yourself typing 
seven whole letters!
