No support for sorted returns from Dir.
Probably the easiest way to sort that list is.... set up an invisible
ListBox that has its Sorted property = True. Load that ListBox with the
returns from Dir and, when ready to parse, get the info from the ListBox.
btw... you should be using "&" to concatenate strings... not "+" so..
