Many thanks to everyone who replied to me with possible solutions to the problem I was having with drive mappings from login scripts under Windows 98SE.
Adam Manock hit the nail on the head with his comments (see below) - it turned out to be exactly this. I was using Notepad to edit the login script, then using SSH to transfer the script to the server. SSH was 'helpfully' converting CR/LF's to LF's for me during the transfer. Of course, when I transferred the file back again to the local machine to look at it, SSH was converting the LF's back to CR/LF's so it looked to me as though there was no problem! Opening the script directly from a mapped drive showed the problem straight away.
