	I have been playing around with device handlers, and have what
may stupid question.  When handling an Examine next, you are passed a
loc on an object.  Is that object a directory always? or can it be 
a file?  I can invision this working one of two ways... The loc can
always be a directory, in which case, I have to return the contents
on object at a time. In this case, if I get a loc on a file, I respond
with an object_wrong_type error.  On the other hand, it could work
like this.  A loc is sent on any object, and I am to return all the
objects within the same directory as the loc I am passed.  Although
this second option seems less likely, when you have stared at this
stuff long enough, anything seems possible.


						THANKS,
