I presume that you want to scan an entire directory tree, searching for
files that match a particular file spec. If this assumption is correct
then you taking a slightly wrong approach.


If this is what you want, then I will send you complete source for a 
program which does this. The code is in 'C', but it is fundamentally the 
same as in PASCAL. (I use TurboC & TurboPascal all the time).
