   Umm..  Off the top of my head...  I was doing this the other day.   
      
   In basic it goes:   
      
       10 open 15, 8, 15   
       15 rem go to root   
       20 print# 15, "/"   
       25 rem browse each in turn   
       30 print# 15, "/0:first"   
       35 print# 15, "/0:second"   
       40 close 15   
      
      
   I have a very well commented basic program that creates a 3 level deep tree   
   that I used for testing and demonstrates directory walking.  You have to use   
   it on a blank disk though because it will format it completely.  I can give it   
   to you if you like.     
   It was written in basic 7 but I think it should work in 2.
