Did you see the script in my other post?
Anyway, not hard (although I haven't researched "access date", if that is
really needed). Following only addresses date modified and date created.
You could save the following in a file named NewOld.powerpro in the scripts
folder within the folder housing your pcf file, and e.g. put in the command
block: do(.newold(pprofolder++"*.txt","m"))
Instead of quit(selfile) in below script, you could have do(selfile) and then
you wouldn't need do in the command block.
