Thanks, Chris. The closing parenthesis got attached to the URL in my email

Gee, it looks just fine in Mail. :) I'll use the standard angle brackets in the future.

If you click on the Universal Headers (for OS 9 ??) link / Universal Interfaces 3.4.1 (no Pascal or Assembly) you get a 3.4.1 UniversalHeaders.dmg. Mounted, it's at /Universal/Interfaces/CIncludes/Folders.h . There's also an AppleScript.h there, with some contacts and values I don't quite know what I might ever do with.

AppleScript.h is for people writing C code. It's of no use to scripters that I can imagine.

What exactly is this .h "C Header Source File" type document that seems to be cropping up a lot. ... I suspect that sometimes it may just be a sort of default for "no known file type" - is that true? My system likes to think that Project Builder is the default app to open them, but they open fine in TextEdit.

A "C Header Source File", as you might guess from the name, is a header file for compiling C code. (A "header" file contains declarations of stuff that's used elsewhere; compare "source" file, which contains definitions and real code.) Assuming you've got Project Builder installed, any file with no type or creator and an extension of ".h" will claim to be a C Header Source File. Ultimately, they're just text, so TextEdit has no problem with them, but they're generally more useful in Project Builder.
