	I know of a couple of XCMD's that will mount AShare volumes, however
neither is being distributed due to Apple politics (ie. 'We don't want useres
doing that sort of thing...').  There is also an MPW Tool called Choose which 
will do the same thing (and some other nice stuff too...), though I don't know
how you would call that from your application.  The bottom line is that it can
be done, but Apple's not going to make it easy for you :-)
	Unmounting on the other hand is REAL easy, just call UnmountVol like
you would for any other volume and it will Unmount  just fine...
