- I spent the long weekend cursing at the AppleEventManager
- trying to get the finder to open a control panel. Anyway,
- one of the things I discoverd was that the alias manager will
- give you a path name if you ask for it. Since my program needed to
- display the path name, I wrote a function that will return a full
- path name in a handle (not in a str255 so you it won't crash with long
- path names) when you give it a fsspec.
