Darn. I didn't think about that, since I only have one drive and the OSA
example didn't work. Apparently I don't have those modules installed on
my system.

I got the following error on my machine:
>>> import macfs
>>> vrefnum,dirid = macfs.FindFolder('macs')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: function takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)

I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that I am still on
Mac OS 9.1
A sys.version call returns '2.2 (#124, Dec 22 2001, 17:36:41)  [CW
CARBON GUSI2 THREADS GC]' on my machine.
