I just use "set the directory to myFolderPath" and then I put "the files"
into a variable to get the files in that folder, and I put "the directories"
into another variable to get the folders that are in that folder.  I haven't
found that it matters whether the initial directory is on a server or local
hard disk.  Please let me know if this doesn't work in Windows 2000.
