I don't know of anything "free" other than the documentation from filePro. I
would think there would be an example in the actual fpmanual that comes with
filePro though.

I put up a fairly precise example of what you are asking for on this list
during the past year sometime, don't remember just when. This is why I'm
reluctant to do it again now... and why I took the nearly 8 months to put it
into the full filePro training courses on CD... but alas, they are *worth*
their price.

P.S. - Still, to help a little. I don't see what there would be to show as
an example. The @arrays simply hold the names (and extensions and long
names) of every file retrieved with your opendir() command. There is really
nothing to demonstrate further about that. You just set a counter and step
through the arrays doing whatever you want with whatever they hold.
