   - if numeric, there are 1 or 2 elements:
         0{  0= list short names
             1= boxed list of full pathnames

         1{  0= filenames only (default)
             1= include subdirectories

  dirs = directory names

    0{  =0 short file comparison (default)
        =1 long file comparison
    1{  =0 given directory only (default)

dirfind

form: string dirfind directory

returns filenames in directory tree containing string

e.g. 'jfile' dirfind 'packages'

dirpath

If x is a 2-element boxed list, calls dirssrplc

dirssrplc

form: (old;new) dirssrplc files
example:
   ('old';'new') dirssrplc jpath '~system\main\*.ijs'

dirtree

get filenames in directory tree
return filenames in directory tree as boxed matrix
optional x is a timestamp to exclude earlier files
each row contains:  filename;timestamp;size

directory search is recursive through subdirectories
filenames are returned in lower case

ignores hidden directories

global DIRTREEX_j_ (set in session configuration)
is a list of directories to exclude from the search,
e.g. DIRTREEX_j_=: <'CVS' to exclude cvs directories.

e.g.  dirtree ''
      dirtree 'main'
      dirtree jpath '~system\packages\*.ijs'
2004 5 23 dirtree ''   - files dated on or after date.
