I understand that in system 7.0 there will be a "folder manager".  Will
this control things like preference files?  If so, how would I look for
such a folder?  
Also, the compatibility guidelines say that one should not use SysEnvirons
while Gestalt is available.  However, how else do you get the info for 
the system or "blessed" folder.  I can't see how you can get this from 
Gestalt.  Is there something in the Desktop Mgr that I can use?  It seems
to me that there should be a standard way to keep pref files around.
Once again, any help or idle speculation would be greatly appreciated.
