Doh.  There's another FAQTS entry that might be more useful here:

    http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4444

According to them, FindFiles() should work with directories if you do it
piecewise, starting from the root directory, and working downward.


I'd like to forward this to Tutor as well, just in case this actually does
work... *grin*  Is this ok with you?


Good luck!
