Changing Finder attributes

[CAMPER@AppleLink.Apple.COM (Camper, Dan)]

Regarding my earlier posting of wanting to modify several Finder attributes for
a file simultaneously, in order to cut down on network/file server traffic, I
came up with my own answer.  This is apparently what happens when you finally
find the right paramblock and toolbox call to use (in other words, "RTFM,
Dan").
 
Below is the code I came up with.  The macro is something I used in the past
and is probably a kludge in this case.  It works, though.
