-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?

I am sorry to disappoint you, but this does not work either!  It remains
constant and is not altered when the csd is changed.
