	I'd like to programmatically get the comment information (if any)
that is displayed in the Get Info box for files and folders. Do any of the
HFS system calls (PBHGetFInfo, PBGetCatInfo) return this information as
part of their parameter blocks? I'd like to get the information, but I
don't want to hack the desktop file, since (a) it may not necessarily be
present, and (b) this also needs to work on AppleShare volumes.

	Any information would be much appreciated.
