ejecting a disk after using "the files" funtion

In the last edition of the Runtime Revolution Newsletter there was an article on “Listing and Sorting Files in Revolution”. The article included a demonstration stack “File Lister.rev”. I took that stack and wrote a snippet of code to save the file lists it creates. I have been trying to

I’m trying to set up a sort of a stack of address cards by zip code. Some of the zips are only the first 5 numbers and some of them are in the form “x-”. The script, “sort cards numeric by field "zip"“ sorts all the 9 number zips first, then sorts the 5 number zips-- not what I want.
