I am writing a program in Lightspeed C that asks the user for a filename
using the standard file package and then processes the text in that file
using some of the stdio C routines.  I use fopen() to open the file.

fopen() requires the pathname of the file, but SFGetFile and SFPutFile only
return the filename and the working directory reference number.  How do I
obtain the pathname of the file?
