Yah, I found EDIR also, but was unsure if you wanted to do things that way
(it's okay of course, using pipes).

Another method is to use Syscall and the SS.FD or SS.FDInf status calls to
return the main file descriptor info on a file, which includes the attrs,
dates, size, etc etc. Check in your Tech Manual in the RBF section, and you'll
see what all is inside a File Descriptor sector.

If pipes prove too slow, let me know. best - kev
