Statement of situation: I want to set a particular directory as the current
working directory such that when I issue an SFGetfile, the user is at the
expected location for the file pick. I know the name of the directory but
not the name of the file.

Problem:  Using a combination of PBHSetVol, PBHGetVol, and PBOpenWD
I have changed the current working directory using an absolute path
to PBHSetVol and set (WD?)DirID with PBHGetVol, and then opened it with
PBOpenWD. When SFGetfile is called, it opens the application's directory,
not the one I set. What gives? Can someone give me a hint?

Finder/System: 6.0/4.2
Program Lang: TML Pascal
