Fair enough. If one expect that the returned values are in alpha order, that text will explain why the returned values from an OS, maybe, will be returned in a different order. /hex

The found files are placed in the returned stem in the order they are found by the operating system. This documentation does not attempt to define what that order might be." Probably not exactly what you wanted, but I don't feel that the ooRexx documentation should try to define every single nuance of every operating system ooRexx runs on. I don't know what happens on AIX, I don't know what happens on OS X. I don't know what will happen on Windows 8, etc., etc.. ;-) -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
