| But Howie, I told it might be in @DIRNAME_EXT when you logged in to the
room
| the second time... maybe you just didn't hear this as I did say there were
a
| collection of @DIRLIST arrays... but I did say the name for the screens
| might be in the EXT one... Although... this was after telling you the
| erroneous possibility that you might have to CHDIR to the filePro
directory
| first... so that probably sent you on a wild goose chase first.   Sorry.

Yes, you are and were right.

The problem was I had not issued the closedir() before the
opendir("SCR_MASK",fn) so when I looked at @dirlist_ext it was wrong.

It never occurred to me to try it again after I added the closedir().

Credit where credit is due
