Sure, and why not add support to go beyond 26 drive letters as
well.  I've allways found that to be too limiting.  How about
something like this:

SYS$DISKDRIVENUMBER1:[UTILS\NORTON]>

That would be cool!

:o)

Then to go to the next drive you would type:

SYS$DISKDRIVENUMBER1:[UTILS\NORTON]> SYS$DISKDRIVENUMBER2:

:o)

Boy, I miss the good ole days...
