I just rediscovered Tech Note 140, and after reading about what PBHSetVol I
have a slightly better handle on what's happening. It still leaves some
things open to question, though. Since when can you return a folder number
as a vRefNum? What if you had a folder whose number was the same as a real
volume's vRefNum?

Also, what happens if I do PBOpenWD, SetVol to the new WD, and then PBCloseWD?
What do I get if I do GetVol? And what would _Launch do in this case- would it
correctly use the current directory, or would it revert to using the root
directory?

Is that enough question marks yet?
