The logical name assignment must be made in kernel mode to prevent
users from overriding it.  Someone must have considered this a security

Actually, the logical name assignment must be made in exec mode, not kernel,
so you can do it just by DEFINE/EXEC instead of needing a program as you
would to get it in kernel.
