If no one minds something as horribly primitive as a DOS batch file, this
is what I've been using for some time to display (paged) all folders:
! <RET> fold <RET> - shells & calls batch file \DEMON\PCELM\FOLD.BAT :-
@echo off
cls
echo List of Folders:
dir \demon\spool\mail\bill /w/o/p/a:-d
That's it!
