This is more of a job for luni, as he figured out how to do it... I have
some code that *won't* work 100% correctly, but it's a start (I do know
you need to set some value back to what it started as, but that's about it).

type
{Data structure for Finder information}
   FinderInfoRec = record
     message: INTEGER;

{Allocate a handled block in the SYSTEM Heap}
    DocumentHandle :=
FinderInfoRecHndl(NewHandleSysClear(SizeOf(FinderInfoRec)));
    HLock(Handle(DocumentHandle));

{Fill in information about Handle^^.fileName := 'the document';

    HUnLock(Handle(DocumentHandle));

{Move Handle into the AppParmHandle low mem global, $AEC}
    tempLong := ORD(DocumentHandle);
    BlockMove(R}
                   {MOVE.L  A0,(SP)}
                   {MOVE.W  D0,MemError}
Let me know if this does the trick.
