Large Dir List problem

It's OK. I found what was removing names. Although the script was checked for unusual things, I missed that I had put in an extra command, one not found in any of my similar scripts, and, on top of that, it wasn't doing what I thought it would. It's gone now. Thanks. -- ---===///||| Donald Dalley |||\\\===--- The World of AmiBroker Support http://webhome.idirect.com/~ddalley UIN/ICQ#: 65203020

Hi: Twice, now, I have worked with a relatively large directory list (~750 files) and, with each time, the normal FOREACH item list [] process took every 3rd element (1, 4...) and ignored the other two thirds. To make things work right, it looks like I am going to have to move the first two files out of the directory, one at a time, to access all of the dir names. The same directory is used daily in exactly the same way with other REBOL programs, so I don't understand why this is happening now. Is there something unusual going on with REBOL, or possibly the Amiga's file system, that I should know about? -- ---===///||| Donald Dalley |||\\\===--- The World of AmiBroker Support http://webhome.idirect.com/~ddalley UIN/ICQ#: 65203020

Can we see a bit of code? Anton.
