Opening the containing directory for writing is an excellent suggestion and 
no, you were not misunderstanding me... it is both dates that I want to 
muck-with. Strange as it may seem, it honestly never dawned on me to write 
to the blocks despite the fact that as a matter of course I read from 
them... admittedly a brain-dead question... thanks for the help.

Now if I could find a ProDOS 8 call to grow back my hair I would be even 
happier:)
