Yes, I'm using similar code.
I just had the idea to skip the first 2 elemnts of dir()'s result,
when its argument is a directory that is not the root dir.

When we have ...

object list
list = dir(mydir)
if atom(list) then ... blah, blah ...

... then we could use

for i = 3 to length(list) do

instead of

for i = 1 to length(list) do
   if compare(...

Not soooooo important, I know. :)
