recursion limit when creating file list of harddrive

[JB]

I was not able to get the mouseUp handler to
work but I got the function to return a list but it
probably not the same list.  I used this.

on mouseUp
    answer folder "Pick a folder you want to walk:"
    put it into whatFolder 
  --put directoryListing(fld "directory",round(the thumbposition of scrollbar "depth")) into field "listing"
    put directoryListing(whatFolder,2) into fld id 342435
end mouseUp

Any suggestions?

JB
