I'm not sure what it should return in that case, but such a pathname argument is not a physically existing pathname. I'd expect () as the return value. | It's ok so far but is there a better way than transforming the pathname | to a namestring and merge it with "*.*" to get #'directory to give me the | files in tht directory?
