[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] folderPath

Once again, the usenet proved so helpful to my request for X[CMDFCN]'s

Thanks to Aron Roberts and David Fry, to quote:

.  I believe Guy de Picciotto's "Files" XFCN, version 1.1 or later, will do
.exactly what you want.  It allows you to specify a pathname, from which
.it will show you just the subsidiary folder names.  Once you have folder
.names, the XFCN can then return all of the files matching a given filetype.

and:

.The folderPath XFCN will give the path to a folder. I believe
.there should be another GetFiles XCMD somewhere that gives all
.the files in a folder.
