- It's the way morley do it - obviously they execute a dir or similar command
- to mount the disk, whereas the best way of causing filecore to mount the
- disk but not set the CSD is to do something like read the attributes of
- the $ directory object (what our filers do). I didn't know the morley
- software did it, I'll shout at Gary today, I have to call him anyway....

- I believe acorn released something like !IKHG which was a complete set
- of utils to build keyboardhandlers. Acorn?
