I would write a processing table with OPEN and NEXTDIR to create a 
LISTBOX to present the files that I wanted to show the user and then 
issue a SYSTEM command to run FREECHN on the selected file....however, 
FREECHN should not be needed except in very rare situations.  Is there 
another problem causing a freechain to corrupt that needs to resolved?
