Ken,

I have tried: opendir("PRJ*.*", "/folder") and with two * I will get 
nothing, but if I do the following:

opendir("PRJ*.14","/folder") it will find any files that match.  This is 
strange, I thought.

Also, be careful to closedir() if you want to open another folder.  If 
you try to open before you close, it will not do it.  It has no way to 
handle two open folders.
