Thanks Thiago and Rene for your replies, very much appreciated.

I don't think I'm expressing my question clearly.

The "Make output" line does display the contents of the directory. 
However, what I want is to have a string or a string list to contain the 
directory listing so that I can display the directory files in a dialog 
box rather than on the console screen.

This is just a simplified example of what I'd like to achieve.
