AssignPath -- Creates an assignment to a specified path (V36)
success = AssignPath(name,path)
D0 D1 D2
BOOL AssignPath(STRPTR,STRPTR)
Sets up a 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).
name - Name of device to be assigned (without trailing ':')
path - Name of late assignment to be resolved at each reference
success - Success/failure indicator of the operation
