Using 7.6, but not sure version matters in this.

I have a directory that will contains files that are called by the part#, 
followed by the letter "R", and then some number that indicates a revision.  
I want to launch that file.  IE: for part# 12345, there would be a file 
called:
       12345R3.doc

Of course, I have no idea what the number after the "R" is.   I can think 
of 2 "low tech" ways of doing this, but wondering if there's better ideas.  
(1)  I can do a DIR .../B to a file, load into a table, but then they're 
seeing the DOS box.
(2)  I can do a while loop to some finite ending number.

Any quicker/better ideas?
