                 ? filecount("*.dbf") && print number of DBF files

                 nfiles = filecount("*.dbf")
                 if nfiles > 0
                      declare dbfarray[nfiles]
                      temp = findfirst("*.dbf")
                      for n = 1 to nfiles
                           dbfarray[n] = temp
                           temp = findnext()
                      next
                 endif

                 ? filecount("*.*", 16)
                 * prints number of subdirectory entries
