I seem to be unable to control the location of  a file icon. In particular
when I am overwritting a file, I call FSDelete to delete the file and
FSCreate to create a new file with the same name. Before I delete the
file with FSDelete, I save the location of the icon using
location := paramBlock.ioFlFndrInfo.fdLocation. After I recreate the
file I call PBGetFInfo to get the paramBlock of the newly created file
and then attempt to reset the location of the newly created file
to the saved location by using
paramBlock.ioFlFndrInfo.fdLocation := location and then calling
PBSetFInfo to set the location of the icon to that of the original
file. This does not seem to work. Does anybody know what I am doing 
wrong.
