Perhaps this:

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute ;
			    IN SHELL32.DLL ;
			    INTEGER nWinHandle,;
			    STRING cOperation,;   
			    STRING cFileName,;
			    STRING cParameters,;
			    STRING cDirectory,;
			    INTEGER nShowWindow

?ShellExecute(0,"open","net"," USE R: /D","",0)
?ShellExecute(0,"open","net"," USE R: \\W0028109792\DATAWARE","",0)

clear dlls
