OK. Thanks. Well, at least I now know that can do what I want, albeit kludgily: I can find out the current Space as described in the earlier message here. And although there's no Cocoa nor CoreServices way for me to switch Spaces, I can at least do that via Apple Events in a sort-of hacky way: in the Spaces Preference Pane, I can map keystrokes to the "Switch Directly Into a Space" events, and then I can use Apple Events in my application to send these keystrokes. None of this is ideal, of course, but it's workable and acceptable for my purposes.
