George -

You have two options:

a) Do as you're doing.... open the directory, scan until you find the name,
then use the 3 byte LSN to get the file's FD sector number, then go  get that
on /DD@ and dissect it - or -

b) Open the file, use the getstat SS.FD which will snag the file's FD sector
into a buffer you allocate.

The a) approach is actually quicker, since it's being done under the sheets
anyway in approach b)
