Here we go again.  Standard File is well documented in Tech Notes #47 and #80.
If you can read news, you almost certainly have access to at least some tech
notes.  The newest release of tech notes is posted on comp.binaries.mac very
quickly.  If you can ftp to apple or sumex you have access to ALL of the tech
notes.  If you don't have them you're really missing out on simple topics like
this (it's simple once you have the tech note).  Thanks to all the people who
keep looking out for us little guys and essentially keep tech notes free.
