The 'ex' package was news to me; worth a close look.
There's also a possibility of using 100% Lua code, and os.execute() call, in an OS independent way. Lumikki has such code within it; see dirtools.lua if someone's interested.

lposix:

   -- http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/#lposix
   require "lposix"
   for name in posix.files"/foo" do
     print(name)
   end


And there is also the "ex" API:

   -- http://lua-users.org/wiki/ExtensionProposal
   require "ex"
   for entry in os.dir"/foo" do
     print(entry.name)
   end


Thanks Mark.  These two libs also look great.  At first blush both
will be good additions to my toolbox in addition to their ability to
help me in this case.
