Wow. That fsectbyname is pretty handy!

One recommendation, especially when you modify apps on a machine that might
be used by many different people:  Please try to indicate, somehow, that
the app is modified (perhaps in the info box, which you can also edit,
or in the title bar, or right where you modified it), and, if you can,
put the modified app in /LocalApps, not /NextApps.  Otherwise someone
who is not aware of the change will come along and get very confused and
contact a campus support person or NeXT Tech Support who will even be confused
more.
