First letter of dir() result

The following code uses dir() to list the languages in a directory. Unfortunately, the list includes '.' and '..' .
atom language_name1 sequence language_files, language_name language_files = dir("/home/allen/Language/") language_name = language_files[language_nmbr][D_NAME] language_name1 = language_name[1] if language_name1 >= 'A' then
The 'if' statement is used to eliminate '.' and '..' from the displayed list. I first tried simply:
if language_files[language_nmbr][D_NAME] < 'A'
A series of error messages led me to the above code, which works but seems clutsy. Is there a better way?
