Hello Andrew,

Storing all files in one place (either the main memory or an external card) in some array is maybe not the best way to proceed: there is always a risk to exhaust the available memory when the place contains many files.

Also note that for NVFS support, you will need to write some PP applets as iziBasic does not manage natively the VFS APIs.

And you will need a nice recursive routine to browse inside the directories tree

So, what I would suggest, although it will be slowlier this way, is to browse the whole files tree until the file you want to start to record (either by some sorting order, or just by processing order), record then some files (enough to display 2 or 3 screens maybe), and stop the recursive search at this point (unless you do some kind of alphabetical sort, then you need to process all files...).
If the user wants to browse wider, then do a new search starting to record at a later index.
This would be some kind of "block reading", which is something commonly used in various areas in the Palm programming, because of the small memory available (especially in the older devices).

I don't know if my explanations are very clear... sorry!

Cheers,
aldweb
