I would do it just like in AmigaBASIC: Execute the DOS list command
from your script (address command...), output redirected to a temp file
in RAM:, and then parse those output lines, afterwards naturally cleaning
up by deleting that temp file. (The latter action is often forgotten,
even in some scripts on the WB disk... (I already sent a bugreport.))
