not sure of the exact relationship between wdRefNums and vRefNums,
if any, but the call GetWDInfo() will return the actual vRefNum, dirID,
and procID for a given wdRefNum.

GetWDInfo() is analogous to the PBGetWDInfo() call documented in
Inside Mac IV - File Manager.

For further details, see Tech Note 218 - New High Level File Manager
Calls.

using GetWDInfo() requires internal compiler support (glue) ...
