Are you doing this within a procedure, or just looking while developing?
CHOOSE var FROM #LFILES IN *.rmd will bring up all the rmd's but I don't
know how you would do this as an "IF file exists" type of thing.

Back in 7.6, ChkFile worked with wildcards even though the
documentation said the results would be inconsistent. For example, if
you wanted to see if there are any excel files in a directory, you could:
set var vcount = (chkfile('c:\temp\*.xls'))
It would return 1 if there were files, 0 if there wasn't.
So now I'm in 9.5 and I want to check if there are files in a
directory. The ChkFile doesn't work for this, and I looked thru the
plugin document and don't see a filecount. Is there a nice elegant
way to do this now, or do I have to do directories to a file to a temp
table, etc...
