Hello Hawke',

I think I tested all the possibilities you mentioned, and the statement
seems to behave as expected. BTW, 'system' and 'hidden' are only attributes
of files, in my opinion. Windows can fool you, as these kind of files are
not displayed in Windows Explorer, unless you set some checkboxes.

Cheers,    Ad
