First time using OPENDIR

I want to use OPENDIR to read in a directory to see if there are any 
files in it and then process them.  Since this is my first time using 
OPENDIR I wrote a simple program just to see what I would get and I'm 
not clear about why I'm not getting what I expected.

Here is the code:

::x=OPENDIR():
::SHOW ("5","1") x:
::SHOW "@":
LOOP::xx=NEXTDIR():
::SHOW ("5","1") xx:
::SHOW "@":
::GOTO LOOP:

The test code simply opens the directory and lists everything in there.  
But when I write it to the screen I see some of the FILEPRO files in 
alphabetical order, but it skips many of them in between.  I was pretty 
sure that I would be able to key through the whole list, but that isn't 
what's happening.

I'm running this on a Windows machine.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
