| Well, how much filtering should filePro do?  Should it list only those

It should at least check if there is a file named "map" in the
directory.

I think further checking would be superfluous - no other files
are required to be in that directory for it to be a legitimate
filePro file, and checking for other files (key, data, indexes,
screens, etc. wherever they might be) would be overkill.

Perhaps there's a template that might be used to further check
quickly if it's a legitimate "map" file, but that's as far as
I would go.  In shell scripts I've written, the existance of a
file named "map" was enough to convince me it was a filePro
file and I've been happy with them since day of conception.
