| Enrique,

| 
| 
|      kkkow
|      kkk123456789012345678901234567890fred
|      kkkowwww
|      kkkhello
| 
| then I did an    openddir("kkk*","/tmp/")
| 
| And @dirlist elements 0,1,2.3 are filled with
| 
| kkkow
| kkkowww
| kkkhello
| 
| The filename greater than 32 characters is just ignored.

The probable explanation being that these Directory-Reading
thingies were meant for reading filePro File names (maximum
length = 32) and info about the files in their directories.
