What's going on with dir/ dir$ on the Mac?

Any help would be much appreciated.

The dir statement on Mac OSX10.1 seems to work but OSX 10.2 and 10.3 it just errors rather than returning a blank string. I need a blank string to be returned to tell me a given file does not exist.

Is this a known bug/ issue and are there plans afoot to fix it?

Alternatively am I making a school boy error somewhere along the line? Put me straight I can take it.

I was thinking that if I could debug on the Mac I might be able get a better idea of where I’m going wrong but I’ve been unable to lay my hands on an R6 designer client. Does such a thing exist?

Thanks for your time it’s much appreciated.

I have same problem, The Dir function runs only if you pass, as argoment, a directory in the form MacintoshHD:dir1:dir2 but does not run if you use a path to a file.

May someone help
