lsdir 

    files = lsdir(directory_name)  
 or files = lsdir(directory_name, subdirs)  


List DIRECTORY_NAME.  The return value FILES is an array of  
strings or nil; the order of the filenames is unspecified;  
it does not contain "." or ".."; it does not contain the  
names of subdirectories.  If SUBDIRS is given and is a simple  
variable name, it is set to a list of subdirectory names (or  
nil if there are no subdirectories).  
If DIRECTORY_NAME does not exist, the return value is the  
integer 0 rather than nil.
