This is a fielded string that holds all (or at least lots) of the
information about the file that is retrieved with each NEXTDIR. You could
MID out just the name section... as we all used to do in the older filePro
versions... but hopefully, you have a newer version and it will allow you to
use some new "system maintained" arrays that NEXTDIR brings into existence.
Look into the help file for @DIRLIST_EXT, @DIRLIST_FILENAME and
@DIRLIST_NAME. These will give you just what you want and nothing else.

(There is a pretty good Chapter on this with complete example movies) in the
FP Survivor Series CD's... (which you own I think??, have a look.)
