Thanks for the code...

I was playing around on my own and think I found ANOTHER solution to the above problem.

All I had to do was build a list of files in a source directory.

I started reading about the "exec" and "eval" commands in TCL/TK.

I should have thought about this sooner, but I didn't.

I did this:

set SOURCE "/some/directory"

set expand_dir_command { ls -R $SOURCE}
set files [ $expand_dir_command ]

foreach filename $files {
puts $filename
}
