If only the File Manager would update the list of files only *once* instead
of deleting and re-sorting (watch it in Spy!) after each file vanishes...

BTW, how does the File Manager know when a file has appeared/disappeared?  It
seems to be able to catch any changes from any application, and even from DOS
sessons if a SYSTEM.INI flag is set.  Is there a message passed to the FM from
Windows?  I tried to Spy on it, but either missed it or it was a WM_USER+???.
