There are two forms of FSSpec for a folder. Either 
   .name has length zero and .parID is the folder itself
or 
   .name has length > 0 and .parID is the parent.

FD_SpecialDirectoryGetFSSpec() returns the second form.
To get a file in the TemporaryItems folder:
err = Fn FSMakeFSSpec(outSpec.vRefnum, outSpec.parID, outSpec.name + ":" + "TestFile4?", @outSpec)
