I'm having troubling patching FindFolder - it does not appear in Traps.h and is
a two word trap (i'm new to Mac Toolbox - give me posix any day). Does anyone
have examples of patching a two word trap?

I also had a look at the FolderManager 'AddFolderDescriptor' function (which
allows you to change the location of an existing FolderType) but it only allows
you to redirect to a folder on the system disk or in the blessed folder.
