I'm in the process of writing a utility that will be getting a
path to a file and then reading all filenames into a temp.dir
and the following isn't returning with an error as expected

shell "dir " + path$ + "> ~temp.dir"
open "~temp.dir" for input as #3

apparently, when going into a shell, error messages aren't sent
and I need a way to check the path to see if it exists... Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.
