Question: I'm using System 6.0.2 on a Mac Plus, can I persuade the Dialog Manager to use styled textedit? I've tried putting in the appropriate 'dctb' etc. resources with colour info left default/not-specified and just specified the text style/font but nothing happens. Any ideas? Answer: In "Re: ggetting the full pathname" it was questioned whether the root dirID was DEFINED to be 2... see IM-IV file manager chapter - where it defines this to be true. Interesting though is that if you use 'PBGetCatInfo' on a volume it returns a dirID of 1 if the volume is MFS (2 for HFS), but if you try it out on a MFS file it returns a parent dirID of 2... Is this documented anywhere? Nigel (np@doc.ic.ac.uk)
