By the way, I still like XCD for this purpose on Windows
machines:

It's too bad we don't have a machine-portable solution.
Maybe the new RSI (ITTVIS) would be amenable to offering
a free T-Shirt to someone who solved this particular
problem.
In fact, a Best IDL Utility programing contest, with T-shirts
to the top 10 winners might even solve a clear marketing
problem and get the word out about the name change.
I'll suggest it to them. :-)
Cheers,
David

Sigh... If we just had some JAVA code to format it nicely!

You can get an array of strings and print them as follows:
Print, File_Search() ; Files, directories, etc.
Print, File_Search(/Test_Regular) ; Files only
Print, File_Search(/Test_Directory) ; Directories only

IDL command!? You are thinking IDL 8.0. We are trying
to figure out how to fix all the IDL deficiencies with JAVA
code in the current version. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. You might try this if you are on a UNIX machine:
IDL> $ls
