Anyone,
 
      Can  anyone  tell  me  the  variable  that the current directory
listing is kept on, if there is such a variable.
 
      I've noticed that the first time you ask for a directory listing
of a newly selected directory that it accesses the  disk.  However  on
subsequent  directory  calls to the same directory it seems not to. Is
this assumption correct ?
