I must be missing something! This wouldn't work for you, right?

BTW, here you see how my temp file has changed since the last test ;-)
If you're using words that referece the directory names:
>> drive: 'd
== d
>> folder-1: 'temp
== temp
>> folder-2: 'funky
== funky
>> set 'path to file! reduce ["/" drive folder-1 folder-2]
== %/d/temp/funky
>> append :path #"/"
== %/d/temp/funky/
>> read path
== [%schema.DAT %LATEST.LOG %DECISION_TAB.LOG]
Hope this REALLY helps,
