Hi Andrew
The files() function is what you need. It returns a list of the files
in the current directory.
There is also a "filter" command you can use to filter the list of
files. So something like:
set the directory to "/somePath/music"
put the files into tFileList
filter tFileList with "*.mid"
sort tFileList -- put in alphabetical order
put tFileList into field "list"
