Help!  All I did was open a resource file with the following call
	OpenRFPerm(fName, vRefNum, (SignedByte)fsRdWrPerm);
and my resources got mangled.  After the call, my Alerts show all the
signs of being handles to nowhere (i.e. they seem to be appearing off-screen,
they beep occasionally...).
fName and vRefNum come straight from SFGetFile's reply record, and there
are no ALRTs in the file I opened...  Can anybody remember when _they_
were inexperienced and ran into something like this?

Thanks,
