One of our everyday users wanted to copy some file from one disk
to another on a AT with a single drive. Unwittingly he simply gave
the usual "COPY A:FILE.EXT B:". The AT typically said 'insert disk
in drive B' so he did it. The he typed DIR and what do you know, the
FAT from B was written out to the disk in drive A. I realize he really
shouldn't do that type of stuff (I don't) however I would rather fool-
proof :-) the system than fix disks using NORTON. I would rather not
use SUBST of JOIN to redirected drive B. ASSIGNing B to an invalid drive
doesn't work. So how can I invalidate drive B when it's not redirected?
