Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Update: Assign
 
     Assign
     Arg Assign
          With PWB 1.x, Assign and Arg Assign do not recognize line
          continuations. With PWB 2.00, they use all continued lines
          for the assignment.
 
     Arg <streamarg> Assign
          With PWB 1.x, a streamarg is not allowed. With PWB 2.00,
          Assign accepts a streamarg.
 
     Arg "?" Assign
          With PWB 1.x, this form of the Assign function displays the
          current assignments for all functions, switches, and macros
          in the "<ASSIGN>Current Assignments and Switch Settings"
          pseudofile.
 
          With PWB 2.00, the <ASSIGN> pseudofile does not exist;
          therefore, this form of the Assign function is obsolete. If
          you use this command, or execute a macro that executes this
          command, PWB issues the error:
 
               Missing ':' in '?'
 
          PWB is expecting an assignment or definition using
          the name '?', which is a legal macro name.
