Greetings ooRexx'ers,

As far as I can see, the issue is a) you cannot list hidden (leading dot) and
normal files in one call and b) SysFileTree won't recurse into a hidden

Here is a test scenario:
Yes Erich, that is succinctly the issue comparing native command line tools to
SysFileTree on Linux.
On Windows, Hidden is just one of the file system's attribute flags.
On *nix systems, the leading dot in the object's name means "hidden".
The leading dot for SysFileTree makes it very difficult to obtain a complete
listing of all objects recursively for a given path.
RFE #482 is a request to make the ooRexx use of SysFileTree consistent across Windows and *nix. +1 request for burring platform shim code down in C/C++ land so the ooRexx API behaves consistently
across platforms.
I am thankful,
