@dirlist

[Richard Kreiss]

If you want to stay within filepro, do a system call and list the files in
the directory.  Send this output to a text file and then import the file.

You can then hash the information returned putting the names into an array
and using listbox to display it.

Your choice as to how to get the data in.  any of FP's i/o functions should
work on the file created.
