Since you now know that system("dir") will not work, here is how you
can do what you want. TurboC (and Microsoft C I believe) provide two
routines called findfirst() and findnext() which allow you to retrieve
the entries in a directory given a pattern (* and ? wildcards allowed).
You can use these two functions to retrieve the directory entries you
want into a buffer, which you can later print out.
