Re: Recursive touching... Whoo hoo!

Joe,

I do not really understand, what you want, but there is an API 
(Qp0lProcessSubtree) that list the contents of an IFS follder.

Gene Gaunt gave an example programme (Explorer), published in Midrange 
Computing.

Another example can be found in our very own Harry Potter book, the Sorcerer's 
Guide.

Perhaps that is what you are looking for, RPG wise.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
