[HELP ASSIGN 1 page]
You can ASSIGN any unrestricted device to your job.
Any restricted device may be used through the MOUNT command.

NOTE:   To undo any damage caused by ASSIGN, use the command   DEASS
(DEASS also may take arguments, but to DEASS ALL, just use DEASS.)

You may connect DEVICE NUMBERS in FORTRAN programs to various DEVICES,
using ASSIGN as follows:
           ASSIGN DSK 6 (causes output to unit 6 to go to the file FOR06.DAT)
           ASSIGN LPT 6 (same, except that it now creates a spooled .LPT file)
           ASSIGN DSK 5 (causes program to read terminal input from FOR05.DAT)

You might want to simulate a system program by having a copy on your own
account (DSK:).  To do that:
           ASSIGN DSK SYS    (remember, DEASS to get back to normal afterward)

You might want to use a program which has been moved to OLD:.  To do that:
           ASSIGN OLD SYS

The command "SYSTAT ."   abbreviated "SY."  types out all your assignments.
     (the dot after SYSTAT means SYSTAT of one's own job)
