Um...it's in IM VI, and in the MPW and THINK headers, which you should
have if you have System 7.0. The routine you are looking for is
FSMakeFSSpec. It takes any combination of vRefNum (which could also be
a WD), dirID, and string (which could be a full or partial pathname),
and fills out an FSSpec record.

It is recommended that the only way you fill out an FSSpec is by 
calling this routine.
