I am working in MacPascal. (I have to; that's not negotiable.) This package, because it's intended for educational use, gives you access to a lot of the Mac traps only through inlines. Whenever I try to delete or rename a file using the low-level file i/o routines Delete and Rename, I get an error message saying "an invalid trap number has been given to inline or generic." I have double checked the trap numbers in several references, and they are correct. Any ideas?

Any ideas? _Rename and _Delete are register-based traps, so you need to use the Generic trap interface, instead of Inline.
