Is there anything different in MorphOS in installing applications? ie

Installation
************

Just copy the MainActor drawer to a device of your choice (it is in Systrem:Applications/MainActor) and add an
assign to your user-startup, like

`assign MainActor: <Path>' (System:Applications/MainActor Path?)

;
; MorphOS user-startup
;
; This script is executed on system boot by
; startup-sequence. You can make personal
; changes in here.
;
; $VER: user-startup 1.1
;

; Enable the following to mount the inet-handler. Note that TCP: allows
; easy access to internet, and allows scripts to listen for incoming
; connections. Some malware could abuse this.

A requestor Appears when the "MainActor" icon is selected?



It Says "Plaese insert volume MainActor in any drive" Below this It asks
Retry Assign Mount Deny Cancel Where in the docs is there an explanation?

NAME
Assign - Binds a device name to a directory or file.

SYNOPSIS
1.3
Assign Name Dir Etc/... LIST EXISTS REMOVE

2.x/3.x
Assign Name Dir Etc/... LIST EXISTS DISMOUNT
DEFER PATH ADD REMOVE VOLS DIRS DEVICES

DESCRIPTION
Assign causes NAME: to be a synonym for a directory
or a pathname. This is referred to as a "logical"
device, since it appears to the Amiga and the user as a
device, but is in fact a directory. You can use this as a
convenient shorthand to refer to lengthy pathnames, or to
refer to a variety of different directories by the same
name (just change the assignment when you want the
program to change directories).

You can remove assignments by giving only NAME:, or
by giving a single minus ('-') as the directory or device
name. There are also specifice keywords to remove
assigns which will be covered later. In any case, all
assigns are lost when the system is shut off or rebooted.

In 2.x/3.x you can assign a single device name to
many directories by simply listing all of the directories
after the device name.

S:, L:, C:, FONTS:, DEVS:, LIBS:, T:, and SYS: are
all made during normal startups. All these assigns
directly relate with system operation. Therefor, they
should not be tampered with unless you are prepared to
crash your system! So, don't mess with system assigns
unless you know absolutly what you are doing...

If there is already a directory with an assignment,
any new assignment will replace it. You cannot, however,
assign the same name to a device that already exists. So
an assign to device Work: if a disk whose name Work: is
already mounted.
My question was an explanation of the choices in the requestor box?
It is not in a DOS manual it is specific to MorphOS

As always the right answer! Application is ASSIGNED
