Keywords: Launch,directory,SFReply Message-ID: <25810@cs.yale.edu> Date: 14 Aug 90 18:49:51 GMT Sender: news@cs.yale.edu Distribution: usa Lines: 14 Nntp-Posting-Host: zoo-gw.cs.yale.edu Im having difficulty implementing the transfer function... Works Fine when I give _launch the full pathname of the application to launch but when I get the file name from SFGetFile tack a ':' onto the front of it and then call PBOpenWD (which returns with no err condition) with: pb.ioWDDirID = CurDirStore pb.ioRefNum = SFReply.vRefNum pb.ioWDProcID = my application's signature Launch still gives me the Application missing dialog box as if I hadn't. Changed directories at all.. What am I missing? Any better Ideas all together on how to implement this? Is there any function hidden in IM somplace that returns a full path name given an SFReply? Somebody care to help a lost soul?
