I've changed the name of a file - now how do I get at path to the new name?

I've got a variable (vPathName) that contains a reference (i.e. path) to
a file:

--> file "Work:DMS Group:Database:Test Images:xxx.jpg"

I can change the name of the file by:

set the name of vPathName to "NewFileName"

great, however the variable still contains the path to the old file name.

How do I get the path to the newly renamed file?

I need it to put back into the database (FileMaker) where I got the
original pathname, so that it will point to the correct (i.e. renamed)
file.


Thanks,

LEN

PS - is it just me or is this mailing list kind of confusing - where are
all the posts? am I the only one? I guess I was expecting more of a
newsgroup kind of thing. Anyways, any help would be very appreciated.
