I've tried various system calls to set the Two globals contain the information used by the SF routines to decide what directory they are in: (int) SFSaveDisk - contains the negative of the volume (NOT a working directory number). (long) CurDirStore contains the directory ID of the directory. Set these before calling the SF routines, and they will use the volume and directory you specify. See PBGetVol() and PBGetWDInfo() for routines that convert working directory numbers to/from real directory numbers. (A working directory number is like a volume ref number, and is what is returned by the SFGetFile() call if you are using HFS. You need to convert this to a true volume number and true directory number. -ken mitchum univ of pgh. DSL
