You can also use DirectoryEntry>>isDirectory.  For example:

	FileDirectory default entryAt: 'ReadMe.txt' isDirectory

You can drill to the DirectoryEntry object about a bazillion different ways.

FileDirectory>>fileNames. From both it should be easy to derive a
#directoryNames or #isDirectory: method.
