The following hypercard command:

	open "docname" with "appname"

does not work when the document is on an AppleShare volume and everything else
(stack, HyperCard, application) is on the startup volume (in this case, an
internal hard disk).  If the document is on the startup volume, or even on
another disk, such as a floppy, the command works fine.  I have tried this
with two different applications (4D and MS Word) and each one reports that
the document file could not be found.  Again, this happens only if the doc
is on an AppleShare volume.

The configuration is:  several Mac SE's networked with AppleShare via PhoneNet.
The file server is a CMS-60.

The specific scenario is that HyperCard is being used as a "finder" shell to
launch other app's with specific documents.

If anyone has experienced the same thing, or if you've tried the same thing and
it has worked for you where it has not for me, please let me know.  Also,
if you know of a fix or a workaround, I need that too.
