Hi Net,
	Thanks to those people who replied to my earlier queries, that was
much appreciated.  I have some more questions:

1)  Why doesn't Multifinder recognise the invisible bit on the folder
    flags?
    I'm running 6.04 and the UniFinder makes the folder invisible.

2)  Why doesn't SFGetFile pass a folder's information to it's filterProc?
    Folders don't even get a look in during the display pass.

I'm writing an application to allow users to build up a list of files to
hide and show later.  This stops children from trashing documents and
applications while playing games on the Mac.
This would be useful if you could select a folder to become invisible, I
have got the folder selecting bit. Making individual files invisible would 
be impractical.
