[X Newbies] Printing a list of items

[Norman Cohen]

I know that it didn't do everything desired, but I thought that it 
would be a good starting point. To do what you suggest would probably 
necessitate a separate subroutine that could be called recursively to 
deal with included folders, providing some indentation to differentiate 
levels. It should be fairly simple to refine; however, I leave it to 
those interested to do so.
