for starters.
And for more than starters...since there is some interest in what is called
the FindFolder features of the Folder Manager:
1. You can find out more about the general subject, and begin to explorer
the 'FindFolder' (not AS...C) tools in the developer docs, by visiting:
<
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1142.html>
2. And more about the general folders header underpinnings:
<
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/Files/FolderManager/Folde
r_Manager/Functions/Manipulating_Folders.html#//apple_ref/c/func/FindFolder>
3. And for _really_ more...read on... clipped from Apple's folders.h
header file, which would need to be included in apps using CarbonLib and
later. The 4-character codes are a handy feature, especially when users may
have (if possible given folder's ability to be) renamed the danged thing.
[A BIT LONG...but very useful...sorry]
