RO 6.20
--------
*show inetdbase*

InetDBase$Path : Choices:Internet.Files.
InetDBase$Write : .Internet.Files


RISC OS 4.39
------------
*show inetdbase*

InetDBase$Path : Choices:Internet.Files.
InetDBase$Write :
HostFS::HardDisc4.$.!boot.Choices.Users.Single.Internet.Files


RPCEmu RO 5.28
--------------
*show inetdbase*

InetDBase$Path : HostFS::HostFS.$.!Boot.Resources.!Internet.files.

As for renaming CertData in other places...
Aside from Fetch_NS I have no idea what other apps might use CertData.
