(directory :directories-are-files t) will return the subdirectories are ordinary files, and is the default. (directory :directories-are-files nil) will return the subdirectories as directories. note that Allegro CL distinguishes a file from a directory by the trailing slash in the pathname print syntax. all of this is well documented in the accompanying manuals or on-line documentation. please take the time to read them. #:Erik
