A good source of example code on how to interface to AppleTalk can be 
found inthe HyperCard AppleTalk Toolkit (or HyperAppleTalk).  It 
comes with source for XCMDs which interface to the AppleTalk calls 
which can easily be adapted to standard Mac applications.  It is 
available from APDA for about $25.
