Jake,
Thanks for the link. I don't think I was specific enough in my previous
mail. The change that came about is that "mount volume" suddenly supported
making SMB connections. Up until 10.3 it only supported AFP connections.
The dictionary for Standard Additions still only says "Mount the specified
AppleShare volume". However, it clearly supports them now.
