Yeah, I see what you mean. Scripting is really powerful.
This little script provides just about all the information
one would want about the files in a directory. I've just
GOT to learn scripting! Heheh. Thanks again.

writing a script for the exact requirements of each

everything but requires effort on the users part.

interface. Small programs require 95% of the effort into
the user interface. Large programs (like what your bank
uses) the figures are reversed. Medium programs (Word etc)
are in between.
