(This seems long but is quite simple) Open the desired directory in Finder. start terminal type the letters cd followed by a space. Drag the little folder icon from the finder window to the line in terminal that you were just typing on. In Terminal hit return. Now type the following: ls > directorylist.txt (You can call directorylist.txt anything you want) This will create a text file with a listing of each file in the directory on it's own line. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
