Tom,
Have you tried using Ultraedit (UEdit)? An F9 in UEdit will issue a DOS
directory command that will copy the File names from a given directory
into a single ASCII file. This file then can be easily edited to create
a column of file names that can be read into a temp file as an ASCII
text variable. As long as the text variable is defined to be as long as
the largest file name, you should have no problems with the temp RBASE
file for whatever purposes you need.
Haven't tried using the Built-in RBASE editor, but this would be a neat
feature for it to have.
Didn't see a DIR command in the MS-Windows edit scheme type, but I could
be wrong.

I 'm looking for a way to import the names of files in a folder
into a
table. These file names are, not at all, associated with R-base files.
I've tried several ways, but not successfully.
