I am getting an odd result from PGHGetFInfo, using vRefNum and DirID rather
than WDRefNum. After my call to PBHGetFInfo, the DirID has been changed to 
something else. At first I thought it might be the Parent DirID, but I checked
that and it's different for different files in the same folder. Can anyone
tell me what it is (or what I'm doing wrong)? Here is a fragment of my code:

		var
			paramBlock: HParamBlockRec;
			vRefNum: INTEGER; 
			dirID: LONGINT; 
			fileName: Str255;
			fndrInfo: FInfo
			theErr: OSErr;

	begin
		with paramBlock do
			begin
				ioCompletion := nil;
				ioFVersNum := 0;
				ioFDirIndex := 0;
				ioNamePtr := @fileName;
				ioVrefNum := vRefNum;
				ioDirID := dirID;
			end;
		theErr := PBHGetFInfo(@paramBlock, FALSE);

I also tried it with ioFDirIndex = -1, but got the same result.
