I've been hit by this one recently. It appears that the prototype for
GetItemMark isn't quite right. if you pass a pointer to an _int_
instead of a pointer to a char you'll find the correct value in it.
This has to do with the fact that in Apple's Pascal, chars variables
are represented by ints, chars are only packed in pascal when they
appear in arrays of structures.
