Thank you! (It feels nice to be "a kind soul".)

You might want to do it this way:

Write a normal INIT file that first calls SetVol, then loads and runs
INIT-31 and finally calls SetVol to restore the default directory. It
should work, unless INIT-31 does something besides load the other inits.

This time I don't have the time to write the code, but it shouldn't be
too complicated. You could also solve the whole thing by modifying X-INIT
to call the normal INIT-31 several times with different directories.
