But if a function would be convenient, you might consider this:
function GetFiles pDir -- pDir is a valid path
put the directory into tSaveDir -- Save the original directory setting
set the directory to pDir -- set to the specified directory
get the files -- get the list of files
set the directory to tSaveDir -- reset the directory to its original
return it -- return the list of files
end GetFiles
