There is an XFCN called _getvol_ that returns the name of ONE mounted
volume; I think this comes from Gary Bond's "XCMD's for HyperCard" book.

At any rate, I modified the source for _getvol_ and came up with _getvols_,
which returns the names of ALL mounted volumes.  Volume names are separated
by newlines.

_getvols_ is attached to HyperUnix's home stack, available via anonymous
ftp from ssyx.ucsc.edu.  I'm not sure where you could get _getvol_.
