   There are two stacks needed for what you want to do:
  1) Mount/Unmount  -- handles mounting Appleshare volumes
    -- but password is saved as text!  Could be semi-hidded with a
    -- bullet font where every char is the same bullet; but a HC
    -- scripter would know that he could read the password by either
    -- changing the field font, or "put field password"
  2) Support Tools eXternals, also from Apple, contains XCMDs to
    a. show list of volumes
    b. do HFS copy of files, folders
    c. list folder contents
    d. many others

Now if I can get QuickMail to work with Sys 7.0b1, it'll be easy to
mail stacks to people!
