Bug in "the folders"?

[Jim Ault]

A better way of deleting the unwanted is the one line

filter tDirList without ".*"

any file beginning with a period
no need to sort, or wonder which file is at the top
or how many "." files you have.


filter tDirList with " *" --isolate any beginning with spaces
