- Funnily enough, I've just done this. After my success doing it under
- RISC OS 2, doing it under RO3 was just too easy (though still not as
- easy as you would expect). From memory:
-
- Set FS <FileSwitch$CurrentFilingSystem>
- SetEval CSD "<FS>:"+FileSwitch$<FS>$CSD
-
- The first command is only necessary to make the second one fit on one
- line! Who knows, maybe by RISC OS 4 they'll have got it down to one,
- easy to swallow, variable. :-)
-
- Anyone know a simpler way?
