Error messages between Mac OS 8 & X

I have an application written in FM 4 running under OS 8.1 which included a container field for a Quicktime movie. The original quicktime movies occupy 7 CDs and when the user clicked on the container, the system would prompt "Please insert CD-6" (or whatever the CD was called). Running the same application under OS X generates a different error message: now it says "I can't find file 'filename'. Please locate it" and it opens the standard open file dialogue. This is not helpful if you have 7 CDs to search.

FM must preserve the path information for the container object somewhere, to make available to OS 8. If I can make that visible by copying it into a field, then I can write a script to put the required disk name into a message box. Problem: Where does FM keep the path information?

Any help greatefully received!

Thanks, Dave
