Bill, i'd like to be able to help you out more, but i haven't done much mac
programming (any programming) recently.. i do know that the good way to do
it now is by using Navigation Services SDK, but i haven't even downloaded
it yet :)  the simple way is through the use of Standard File package..
SFGetFile() i think will do it, and it's quite easy to use.. i had some
sample code at one point but managed to delete my entire projects folder
while transferring it to a new drive :\  that put most of my projects on
hold as you could imagine.

when in doubt check out inside mac (it's free & online) but you should be
able to figure it out from the headers ( i think i did).
