I quite often use EnumDir to a file as a quick and easy way of doing this:

        EnumDir <Prune$Dir>.^ <Prune$Dir>.list
        SetType <Prune$Dir>.list text

in the Run file of the application. Then you simply have a sequential text
list to process as you wish. Of course all objects are listed, including
directories and the application itself.

The above is from my Prune program used to delete excess back-ups.

Hope this helps, 
 
John
