There's a worrying aspect to this. RISC OS 5 returns InetDBase: as a
writable path (no multiple choices within it). RISC OS 4.39 and 6.20
don't. OK, there ought to be an alternative approach: check to see if
InetDBase$Write exists; if yes, use it, else use InetDBase:. But that
will only work if InetDBase$Write is a valid path, and 2 out of 2 users
of 6.20 so far have shown that it isn't.
Even a test for validity is problematic, because AFAICS the fallback
from there is to use a fixed path.
I'm looking for helpful ideas here.
Among which, does anyone have any idea why InetDBase$Write is invalid
on 6.20? Presumably if we could find out why, we could fix it.
