Okay, so the secrets are
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"/"}
so the front document's path can be deconstructed into components, and
set fileNames to do shell script "ls " & dPath
set fileNames to paragraph 1 of fileNames
where "dPath" was the path, backtracked to the enclosing directory, and
appending "/Art/*" & selectedText & "*". Thus letting UNIX do the nightmarish
iteration of the directory.
It turned out not to be horrible.
