Subject: Returned ActCount from FPRead -- Where is it?

I have occasion to call FPRead (via AFPCommand).  Inside AppleTalk says that
one of the outputs from this function is ActCount, the number of bytes 
actually read (13-123).  In "Notes" (13-124) it states, "The ActCount parameter
is returned by the underlying transport mechanism and not as a parameter in
the reply block."  What I am not sure of is what this "underlying transport
mechanism" is, and, knowing that, how I can obtain ActCount.

Any ideas?  I really need to know how many bytes I am reading, so if this
thing is buried off in Never-Never land somewhere, is there some cute kludge
I can use?

Send replies to jverdega@cae.wisc.edu or post here.
Thanks much!  :-)
