Another thing to try would be using the SET VOLUME command, which lets you  
designate a folder as a "drive" and then you can read files out of it in a sort  
of MS-DOS format.  I don't have the manual in front of me, but I believe that  
the format is something like

SET VOLUME C TO "MacKeegan:FoxVOTE"
USE "C:bc_voted.dbf" INDEX "C:bc_precinc.idx"

At any rate, it's close to that, and it should give you enough to go on in a  
manual search.. It sounds approximately like what you want to..
