I have noticed that the SET PREFIX command behaves oddly if a new volume isn't on a DIFFERENT DEVICE than the current volume (if I BRUN Kermit from S6,D1 with a volume of /KERMIT and then swap disks and SET PREFIX /DATA, I get an error -- however, if /DATA is on D2 there's no problem -- also if I BRUN from S6,D2 and /DATA is in D1 SET PREFIX works okay). Since there haven't been howls of complaints, I gather that using SET PREFIX to change directories in a VOLUME doesn't cause any difficulty(?)
