I'm need a routine that will convert the volume reference number from SFGetFile
into a pathnam.  I assumed that I'd need to convert the working directory
id into a directory id and then use something like GetCatInfo to get
directory names while tracing back to the root.

PBGetWDInfo and PBGetCatInfo don't seem to be returning the data that I'm
expecting.  I don't know if I'm calling them incorrectly or if I'm just
expecting the wrong things.  I don't really have any code to show: I've
simply been trying out all kinds of ways to set up the parameter blocks.

Any advice on how to go about doing this (am I even close?) would be
appreciated, sample code even more so.

Thanks in advance,

Jay Finger,
