FINDFILE [message #9440]

I'd like to register a complaint with the
Disgruntled-IDL-Programmers-of-the-World. It may seem silly, but it's
caused me great headaches. Findfile() does not perform the same way
cross-platform. On unix machines, the command findfile() finds all
files *and* directories at the current level, but does not distinguish
between the two. On windows/mac, you get a separator for directories,
allowing easy parsing. Also, findfile('*') on unix descends one level
to list all files and directories through that level, but still with
inconsistent directory demarcation. It would be so lovely if findfile()
produced the list of current files/directories at the current level,
with a platform specific separator following the directories. Please,
RSI, make my life a little easier...
