If you do not include drive mappings in your login script, they will have to be manually re-created each time you log in.
You can have up to 26 mappings, including local drives.
Search drive mappings begin with the letter Z and continue backward through the alphabet.
To map a search drive, use S and a number.
If you do not want to overwrite existing search drives, use the "INS" option.
To map to the next available search drive, use S16:=.
