>I can't seem to find a way to tell if a directory exists. It seems like such a simple task, but the only thing I can think of is to use the FILE command to find a file inside the directory in question. What if there are no files in the directory? I thought I'd better ask the experts before I waste too much time on a seemingly simple task. Thanks for any help.
