  Having now read in a text file and written it out, etc.  I find
myself in the position of wanting to read in the contents of a
complete folder or disk.  But, it seems that Hypercard always wants
the complete file name.  What I would like is either a wildcard that
allows me to match all files on a disk/folder or the ability to
iterate through all of these files opening each in turn.

  Anyone out there have any solutions?
