On RISC OS 5 it looks as if you want to set ADFSFiler$DefaultPath, not
$DefaultDir. Otherwise, it seems (from a five second experimentation:
I've never actually used the feature) to work the same. So, amend your
Obey file to read
Set ADFSFiler$DefaultPath Temporary
and it should do what you want. Probably.
