   When the _SFGetFile routine (using what ever version is available under
System Disk 5.0.2) returns pathnames and complete pathnames of the choosen
file, is the pascal string started with a length WORD, or a length BYTE?
   All my books aroung here suggest it's a byte, but they all date back to
System 3.0 and ProDOS 16 :). A word would be better for use under GS/OS.
