Has anyone noticed that the Desktop Manager isn't totally transparent?  I have
been trying to write a program that copies files from one drive to another in
a certain order (to duplicate the file IDs), and several of the file manager
calls don't work properly with the Desktop Manager activated.

I have to use the Manager since I am working with some 10000 files and a
normal Desktop resource file can only hold about 2700.  I have noticed that
the PBCatMove call fails entirely, and most of the other PB--Cat-- calls
have some problems.  

Am I missing something?  If so, any help would be greatly appreciated.
