	I was looking into how to write an AppIcon program that
would create an icon on the workbench which, if an icon were
dropped on it, the icon would be printed. It seems pretty simple.
The only question I have is how to find the exact path of the
file, as well as the name of the icon. The WBArg received
contains a name and a lock. The name doesn't seem to have a path
in it. I am not familiar with locks, and I assume that that is
where to find the answer. Also, directories don't have a name,
just an empty string. Is the lock usable anyway? I realize you
don't print a directory but it is useful for other applications.
	Thanks,
	-- Ethan
