File() may have some problems that sys(2000.. may not have. I think that sys(2000 is be just a wrapper to FindFirstFile and FindNextFile, so it should work under all circumstances.

File() has problems when the path does not include any folders, or if you use an UNC path, and may give false positives.

m.lcDefault = Set("DEFAULT")
m.lcPath = Set("PATH")

Mkdir C:\TEST001
Mkdir C:\TEST001\TEST002

Set Default To C:\TEST001
Set Path To C:\TEST001\TEST002

m.lcFoo = "12345678"

Strtofile(m.lcFoo, "c:\test001\test002\test003.txt")

?'File("test003.txt")', File("test003.txt")
?'File("c:\test001\test003.txt")', File("c:\test001\test003.txt")
?'File("c:\test003.txt")', File("c:\test003.txt")
?'File("\\someserver\somefolder\test003.txt")', File("\\someserver\somefolder\test003.txt")

Chdir (Home(0))

Delete File "c:\test001\test002\test003.txt"
Rmdir C:\TEST001\TEST002
Rmdir C:\TEST001

Set Default To (m.lcDefault)
Set Path To (m.lcPath)
