I can set the current working directory by clicking into the directory
where my BASIC files are held and use 'Set directory' from the 'Filer'
window. I often forget so when I run the first program containing a
CHAIN keyword it fails (can't find next program). It would be easier
to double-click an obeyfile (perhaps called !RUN_FIRST) to do this but
the one tried below doesn't work.

Pseudo application directory with !Boot and !Run obeyfiles
containing...

Set Graphics_sequence$Dir <Obey$Dir>.^    (!Boot)

/<Obey$Dir>.!Boot    (!Run)

Any solution please?
