I'm Re:'ing my own message about HyperCard getting the path 
of the system folder, because the XFCN I proposed writing
was easier to do than I previously thought.

For anyone who's interested, I wrote an XFCN BlessedFolder() which
is a hack of PROCEDURE BuildPathName from Andrew Gilmartin's /
Steve Maller's FileName() XFCN source, and it works.  I owe
this XFCN's success to their work.

I also wrote an XFCN RealName() which returns the real name
of the HyperCard application.  This peeks the CurApName
low memory global StringPtr listed in Inside Mac vol. III.
Well, I needed to have this capability...

Send me mail and I'll send you the source or XFCNs, or maybe
I'll make a simple stack, attach the XFCNs and archive it.
