You can have up to 26 mappings, including local drives.
Search drive mappings begin with the letter Z and continue backward through the alphabet.
To map a search drive, use S and a number. (See MAP Options.)
If you don't want to overwrite existing search drives, use the INS option.
To map to the next available search drive, use S16:=.
