As well as folder names greater than 32 are omited. This really sucks. If it 
was just 100 files I was dealing with wouldn't be a major disaster but I 
have thousands of files which are generated using an automated system that's 
running on the fly and all of this ends up in a web "document management 
system" page. This is what happens when you want to use filepro for 
everything.
Anyway I'll try the "ls > file" option suggested by Bob Stockler meanwhile 
I'll pray to all the Gods of the Cosmos so that filepro tech support accepts 
the need to increment the size from 32 to match the OS and delivers a quick 
new revision of *clerk. In less than 1 week ???

Let us pray.
