It's that time of the year again.

I simply want to get the names of the files in adirectory.
No, I am no novice to mac programming, but I've let libraries
handle file I/O for me until now. I looked through IM IV, but
the HFS chapter is less than crystal clear on this point...

Now, how do I search {a | the current} directory for file
names (and maybe types...) ? Any code pieces or hints are
welcome !
