Mounting Directory to DriveLetter

Mounting a Directory to a Drive letter is very useful if you are writing that is specific to a directory tree, and you want to work on it elsewhere. I wrote wp_testPadding.exe to copy a directory tree with empty files. If for instance I had recreated the Neverland_Pirates_3 folder from work, I could mount it to a drive letter, and all of my scripts would run.

subst W: D:\this\is\my\dir
