  13. Everything appears to work properly up to and including the FSMakeFSSpec
  14. call.
  15.  
  16. I am certain that myPictSpec.vRefNum and myPictSpec.parID contain the
  17. correct values.
  18.  
  19. What I think is happening is that I am not initializing myPictBlock
  20. correctly.
  21.  
  22. The value in myPictBlock->ioVRefNum after the PBOpenWB call is -32xxx and
  23. when I use this number to specify a directory, it chooses the System Folder
  24. on my start up disk - this is incorrect.
  25.  
  26. Any ideas?  I am sure that it is something fairly obvious...
  27.  
  28. I am using THINK C 5.0.
  29.  
  30.  
  31. thanx...
