Hi Ron,
<br/><br/>I get an instance of UnixFileDirectory. And there are only 6 methods for UnixFileDirectory, none of them doing what I want.
<br/><br/>Sincerely,
<br/><br/>Joe.

<br/>> The hardest part of FileDirectory is understanding default.

<br/>> So start with: FileDirectory default.

<br/>> Note that default is on the class side. Once you inspect that you are now

<br/>> when you get a file from that instance you are no longer on FileDirectory.
<br/>> What class are the file entries?
<br/>>
<br/>> Let me know if that helps.
