Creating a file sorter

Is it possible to write a program in turing that does this...

1. Finds all .wav files in a given directory
2. Go through them one at a time. Pressing D deletes it, Pressing P plays it

I want to make something like this because doing it with my folder open and WMP is very slow. I make electronic music and I am trying to sort all my samples and delete the crap.

any help/pointers would be appreciated.

P.S - I have heard that Turing cannot delete files, if that can't be done, then I could just have it rename the file to a number with the 'delThis' prefix could I not?

Ooo...files. Yes, this can be done.

You need to learn about Directories. Press F10 and look for the Dir. module.

Specifically, you'll need:
Dir.Open()
Dir.Get()
File.Delete()
Music.PlayFile()
