The "Get Info" item reports a file's name, kind, size,
path, lock status, its creation and modification dates, the
version number, and suggested and allocated memory assignments.  There
is also a text field  that the user can type information into.

It looks like the file information parameter block contains all of the
fields reported in the Get Info window except for the text field.  I
notice that when the text is touched, the modified date of the file
changes, indicating that the editable text is stored in the file,
probably in a resource.  Is this right?  If so, which resource?  I want
to get this information along with the other file attributes from within
a program.

Thanks,
Dan.
