If you only need the files on one particular directory, SYS(2000) as others have pointed, should be OK, but, if you need to recurse directories, I would use WSH instead of SYS(2000), or a mix of WSH and SYS(2000), for SYS(2000) does not, AFAIK, return subdirectories, and ADIR does return directories, but not directories ONLY.

Something like:

function AnalizeFolder(tcRootDir)
loFolder	= loFSO.GetFolder(tcRootDir)
for each loSubFolder in loFolder.SubFolders
	AnalizeFolder(loSubFolder.Path)
	AnalizeFiles(loFolder)
endfor
