if i try to open a FileStream on a file that is not in the local directory,
the open fails. i.e.

    FileStream fileNamed: 'email\mbox1.txt'

returns nil. (the folder émail' exists; 'mbox1.txt' does not and i want it
to be created). if this is appropriate behaviour, what do i need to do to
open a FileStream on a file that is not in the local directory? what about
the case where neither the path nor the file exists and i want to create both?

thanks,
dave
