Some people are never satisfied.  :-) As Jason
<J.P.OBroin@newcastle.ac.uk> noted, to get that effect you'd need to
use SetMacro but I'm not sure even that would work, you might need
SetMacroEval, which doesn't exist!  Philip
<banks_p@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz> was nearer the mark saying you need a
code variable but this week's star prize goes to Good Ol' Owen "Who
put the OS in RISC OS?" Smith or, as his friends call him,
/G=Owen/S=Smith/O=SJ-Research/ADMD=INTERSPAN/C=GB/@mhs-relay.ac.uk,
who mailed in response to my RISC OS 2 solution:

The only time I want to know the CSD is in my desktop !Boot file so I
can make everything independent of the location of the root directory.
Here, my "static" solution is quite acceptable.
