Although there are several constructions of meromorphic functions with prescribed asymptotic sets [e.g., 5,6], it is usually difficult to determine or prescribe the nature of the asymptotic paths used in these constructions. On the other hand, there are several other constructions of meromorphic functions with prescribed asymptotic paths [e.g., 1, 10, 12], but the extent of the asymptotic values for these functions cannot always be restricted to the values approached along the given paths. Gross [3] has accomplished both results by prescribing paths for every value in the extended complex plane.
