All: Thanks, you guys, for the ideas on importing file names from a directory.
Now, if I can find some time, I'll try your ideas.

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.
