Syntax as a command:
  asr path1 {-control_args} ... pathN {-control_args}


Function:	 adds pathnames and keywords to the search rules for object
segments.


Arguments:
pathJ
   is the absolute or relative pathname of a directory, or one of the
   keywords listed below under "List of keywords."


Control arguments:
-after PATH, -af PATH
   appends the previous path argument after the existing search rule
   named by PATH.
-before PATH, -be PATH
   inserts the previous path argument before the existing search rule
   named by PATH.
-force, -fc
   deletes any old occurrence of path in the search rules before adding
   the new rule.
-inhibit_error, -ihe
   suppresses warning messages printed when a pathname is nonexistent
   or already in the search rules.


-no_force, -nfc
   fails and prints an error message if a rule to be added already
   exists in a different position.  (Default)
-no_inhibit_error, -nihe
   causes warning messages to be printed.  (Default)


List of keywords:
   Both pathJ and PATH arguments can be either pathnames or keywords.
   The defined keywords are--
      initiated_segments
      referencing_dir
      working_dir

   In addition PATH in control arguments can be--
      home_dir

Historical Background

This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is provided and donated
to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. 
as a contribution to computer science knowledge.  
This donation is made also to give evidence of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL
and BULL HN Information Systems Inc. to the development of this operating system. 
Multics development was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC (1963-1970),
renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership
of Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the best software architecture 
for managing computer hardware properly and for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems 
incorporated Multics principles.
Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., 
as successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
