I want to be able to manipulate directories (read directory listings and 
file permissions) and create/delete directories.  The built-in file 
actions only provide file access, and don't seem to offer anything for 
directories.

It looks like I could use:

* a JavaScript File Object within a Script action.  This is probably 
easiest for me to do.

* a JavaBean within a CallMethod action.  This is probably the most 
effective in terms of server utilization, but I've never used witango 
methods & objects, and it's been a while since I did any Java programming 
(though I have found some templates online).  

* use a shell script or Java applet within an external action.  This 
would seem to require spawning a new process, hence would probably be the 
most expensive in terms of server utilization.

Anyone have any thoughts before I embark on this voyage?
