The period in front of a file name is the unix way of designating a
"hidden" file or directory. Most unix-oriented file system commands
routinely omit hidden files unless explicitly included.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

My question is: Is there a way I can tell JT400 to include the 'hidden' files when I do a list() operation?

Is there a file name filter that I can use that will include them?

When operating on Windows, directory.list() returns hidden files as well as normal files.
