	Yes, well, I just found out how to do it (after some serious
macsbugging...).  It seems that if you pass -1 as the FDirIndex to
_GetCatInfo it will ignore the filename you gave it and give back info
about the directory (including the name, of course...).  Is this documented
anywhere?
	Sorry to have bothered you all, but I was rather desperate (not
to mention tired...).
