Two questions:

[1] I am trying to find the easiest way to get the VRefNum given only the
the Name of the volume (Str255)...I read Inside mac about 60 times and it
hasn't sunk in yet.  I made up a horrible loop using GetVInfo
and got sick, but it worke...There must be a better way...

[2] I wrote a recursive routine that copies everything from one
volume to another.  It works fine in that everything is copied.  The
part I have not been able to figure out is the folder window size and
the position of the files inside folders...They are all messed up after the 
copy.  I want it to be just like a finder copy in that everything is 
preserved it the same position, etc...Anybody know what attribute I am 
forgetting to copy over (I am copying the ioFlFndrInfo field)??  Or is that 
the problem...I am re-reading Inside Mac for the 61st time to try and  
figure this out...Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions...
