	Ok, in the tradition of ``5 minutes after you post a message
	for help, things become clear'' I've found part of the
	problem:  The reason the resource was of random length
	was because I didn't HandToHand the original handle and
	subsequently released it.

	HOWEVER, I still have the problem that the damn thing is
	getting stored in the wrong resource fork.

If anyone has some sample code for ``getting user's file choice and
stuffing data and resources into that file,'' I would greatly appreciate
seeing it.
