Hallo Gord
GM>     As such, I want to be able to process each file or directory name on 
GM> a case by case basis. I'd like to be able to give the BTM the option 
GM> (feature) to navigate, parse and process all files and sub-directories 
GM> in a directory tree.
  dir /b/f/s > tmpfile.tmp
  do x in @tmpfile.tmp
      do your stuff here
  enddo
  del tmpfile.tmp
should do exactly what you want without any trouble.
GM>     Now as far and creating a collection of snippets for 4DOS BTM's, 
GM> I've started a collection here and am adding any examples that are 
GM> posted in this echo. However it's only got a few examples at this time. 
GM> When I get these sorted out, I'll make it available for file requesting 
GM> and possibly post in on the internet. If anyone would like to contribute 
GM> to this file, please feel free to netmail (routed or direct) to 
GM> 1:2424/217.
I can give you a few tips there. Come back as soon as this
GM> I don't have a working email address at the moment but should to shortly.
is resolved.
