I was wondering what is the easiest way to check for and see
if input is a directory or file (is this possible via interrups or
something like them?)

For example, at a prompt someone can type in either a filename
or a directory (to search). I need to distinguish between the two.
(ie. if they type in a filename, load the file...if it's a directory,
jump to another subroutine to search the path w/ specific file specs and 
show results in window,etc...)The problem I have is I don't know how
to ask the drive if the input is a file or a dir..

Is there an easy way to do this?

Any replys can either be e-mail (if you don't want to waste bandwidth) or post
(if you do :)

Thanx in Advance.
