MAIL directory
The SYS:MAIL directory, created during network installation, used by mail
programs that are compatible with NetWare.
In previous versions of NetWare, the MAIL directory held user login scripts.
When you upgrade to NetWare 4, existing users still have subdirectories in
the MAIL directory, but their login scripts become a property of the new
User object.
New users that you create under NetWare 4 won’t have subdirectories in the
MAIL directory.

directory”; “SYSTEM directory.”
Map
For DOS clients, the MAP command is used to assign a drive letter to a
directory path on a volume.
Example: If you map drive F: to the directory SYS:ACCTS/RECEIVE, you
access that directory every time you change to drive F:.
See also: “Drive mapping.”
Memory, DOS management
The internal dynamic storage of a computer that can be addressed by the
computer’s operating system; referred to frequently as RAM (Random
Access Memory).
Memory accepts and holds binary data. To be effective, a computer must
store the data that will be operated on as well as the program that directs the
operations to be performed.
Memory stores information and rapidly accesses any part of the information
upon request.
