I'm still having problems.  Here is an example of the code

 URL myURL = new URL("http://www.xyz.com/news/");  // this is a
directory
 File myFile = new File(myURL);
   if(myFile.isDirectory() != false)
     {
     System.out.println("this is a directory!!!!!");
     }
/./ etc


myFile.isDirectory doesn't work here.. I would like to open up a
directory, and get a list
of its subdirectories.

thanks
