SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the NetWare MAP command in an MS-DOS session to set a search path,
the search path is retained only for the current MS-DOS session.
CAUSE
=====
Using MAP to add a Search Drive mapping sets an environment variable. Such
settings created inside an MS-DOS session are used for that MS-DOS session only.
RESOLUTION
==========
Place the command to map a search drive in your login script.
MORE INFORMATION
================
This behavior occurs using the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks. This
behavior does not apply to the MAP command if used simply to associate a drive
letter with a NetWare resource; it applies only to the MAP command when used to
associate a drive letter with a NetWare resource and add that drive to the
search path (equivalent to the MS-DOS path).
The following are examples of mapping a "normal", non-search drive:
MAP Q:=CLARICE/DATA:WIN95
MAP ROOT R:=CLARICE/DATA:WIN95
The following are examples of mapping a search drive:
MAP S16:=CLARICE/SYS:PUBLIC
MAP INS S4:=CLARICE/SYS:PUBLIC\NLS
MAP ROOT INS S1:=CLARICE/SYS:APPS\WORKS
