recursion limit when creating file list of harddrive

[Michael Doub]

When I saw that the output contained both directories and files, adding 
the "/" allows you to
easily know that you are looking at a folder rather than a file.

put directoryListing(whatfolder) into foo
repeat for each line x of foo
if char -1 of x = "/" then
      put x & cr after directoryList
else
      put x & cr after fileList
end if

Given a random path that could be either a directory or a file, is there 
a clever way to tell what you have?
