[comp.sys.amiga.misc] ARP how to use 4 beginners?

To eeh@somewhere... I couldn't mail you, so...:thanks for the mail!

To anyone else who could also answer...

Er, how would I go about using the ARP mount command?  I DO have the ARP
library in my libs: directory, but does that mean that when I use MOUNT
it automatically takes the ARP command?  I use NEWCON: (am about to try
out CONMAN), and NewShell to open it up, WB1.3,DOS1.3,etc.etc...

I never knew how to utilitze arp... only that it's needed by so many other
PD programs!!! :(  I'm learning C right now, and will one day send for the
includes etc. from Commodore.  But I have no other means of understanding
what ARP is for.

Otherwise, I just type in in my startup:  mount

oh, wait a minute... I use a hard drive boot, so... well, anyway, I still
say 

mount RAD: from devs:radmount (where radmount has the standard rad: list).

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!  thanks for asking...

Using the Arp Mount command:
Dont repleace the CBM mount command. Instead copy the arp mount command to
your c: dir renaming it such as Arp_mount. (the arp mount cmd had problems
with mounting some harddrives - as I understand).But it is a multiple mount
command, so I use it in my startup sequence like so
assign prt: remove  ; remove the CBm prt device
arp_mount prt: aux: speak: con: cnc: pipe: pip ;etc
; the prt: refers to my print spooler.
I use most of the other arp commands since they are faster, dont take up as
much memory to resident and use the '*' wild card.
