is this variable recognized after a reboot?
for win95 a drive mapping must work as you mention : use h: "\\srv1018\fasshare"
but it could be that H: is already in use, to determine this you need to check the @error after the use h: ".."
ex:
code:

use h: "\\srv1018\fasshare"
if @error <> 0
? " Error mapping drive to h: error code : " + @error
? "Press a key to continue."
get x$
endif
