Well a real quick one would be a VBScript file passing in the fully
qualified pathname from RBase like:
"f:\somedir\someotherdir\*.for"
then using the filesystemobject you would write to a "FileList.mnu" text
file and base your choose on that. It would take no longer to do it than
you could do it in RBase and it produces the long filenames you desire.
