L.S.

if one wants to check if a file is present in some distant (system) 
folder, one has to use a construction like:

         put the directory into tDirectory                      -- 
remember where I an now
         set the directory to specialFolderPath(Extension)      -- 
move to the target folder
         if "my Target File" is not in the files then           -- 
check if it's there
                -- do something
           set the directory to tDirectory                      -- 
and go back to where we came from

Now wouldn't it be nice if the 'files()' function used an argument 
for the target directory (none is current dir.), so that we can write:

        if "my Target File" is not in 
files(specialFolderPath(Extension)) then        -- check if it's there
                -- do something

One can always use files() (no argument) for the current dir, and be 
backward compatible as well :-)

Shouldn't be too difficult, should it ?
