See page IV-72 of Inside mac volume 4.  Basically, there are 2 low memory
globals to control this.  SFSaveDisk contains the negative of the volume
refnum of the volume.  CurDirStore contains the dirID on that volume.  These
values are set by the Std File package as the user navigates through the
directory hierarchy.  You can set these values before calling Std File to
determine which folder appears initially.

Setting the current volume has no relationship to the directory Std File
will bring up initially.
