var streamNumber : int
var directory : string

put "Enter directory: " ..
get directory :*
streamNumber := Dir.Open (directory)

loop
        var fileName : string
        Dir.Get (streamNumber, fileName)
        exit when fileName = ""
        put fileName
end loop
This should work

Alex's Opinion

-----------------------------------

Still doesn't work. Says Dir.Get can't have parameters.

Oh that's right, sorry I got mixed up between Dir.Get and Dir.GetLong and I diddn't have turing at that moment. You should go like this:
var streamNumber : int
var directory : string

put "Enter directory: " ..
get directory : *
streamNumber := Dir.Open (directory)

loop
    var fileName : string
    fileName := Dir.Get (streamNumber)
    exit when fileName = ""
    put fileName
end loop

Dir.Close (streamNumber)
