We read the same books I believe.

- Programmer's reference for System 6.0
page 394, tellFinderGetSelectedIcons
page 402, tellFinderSetSelectedIcons
	It states "Do not set bit 31, or any other bits in the highest byte."

But...

- Programmer's reference for System 6.0.1
page 46, tellFinderSetSelectedIcons
	It states "You can now set bit 31 of dataIn..."

Then, from my understanding, if bit 31 of dataIn is set, the stringList 
handle's contents is no more a set of GS/OS input strings but a set of 
records, each preceeded by a count word. Everything is described page 
394.

My ideas:
-0- Are you using System 6.0.1?
-1- You still use GS/OS input strings
-2- You do not use GS/OS input strings
-3- There's a bug in System 6.0.1
