  16. >I'd like to use FindFolder() to find the VRefNum of the Preference folder,
  17.  
  18.  FindFolder ( kOnSystemDisk , kPreferencesFolderType , kCreateFolder ,
  19.   & fss . vRefNum , & fss . parID ) ;
  20.  
  21. However, you will have to use BOTH the dirID _and_ the vRefNum;
  22. using only a vRefNum went out of fashion with system 3.2.
  23.  
  24. Use HCreate and HOpen (under system 6) or FSpCreate and FSpOpenDF
  25. (under System 7)
  26.  
  27. Cheers,
