To further assist with file/directory handling, file/directory  
functions are being built to handle most common tasks. They work with  
either FSSpec, FSRef or CFURLRefs

For example, for the following requirements

- look for a folder "My Test ƒ" on the user's Desktop
- if not found create it ( else use existing )
- look for file "MyLogFile abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.txt"
- if not found create it as a plain text file  ( else use existing  
file )

Not counting opening and writing the file, the above steps can be  
accomplished in three (3) lines of code using the file/directory  
functions.

The file/directory functions are nearing completion and should be  
available soon.
