classic file paths

[Jeffrey Reynolds]

Thanks, I have been doing this and the structure under classic is what 
i thought it was

/volume/users/userid/folderpath/file

the problem is if i get the file path (using answer file) with an macos 
app running on osx under classic, this file path will not work (ie 
setting the filename of a image object). works great in osx, just 
classic not working with rev 251 engines. The only thing i could think 
of was that there was something different in setting a filename path in 
classic than what you get when you request it with answer file or long 
stack name, etc.

cheers,

jeff
