Hi,
I was going to report that I can verify this, but Isee there have been
several replies in the meantime! (:-))  It took me a while, because I was
mightily confused by the fact that, e.g. "Sfiles[] directory p4" doesn't work!
OTOH, this does:

   Sdir = p4
   Sfiles[] directory Sdir

In fact, "prints p4" doesn't work if p4 is a string.  I see in the manual
"String Variables" section that "The string p-field can be used by many
orchestra opcodes directly,"  Is there any logic as to which ones?

Also I'm not clear on the difference (if any) between "Sname = p4"and
"Sname strget p4".  They seem to behave the same here.

Getting back to the directory opcode, I'm not sure whether by default
it's better to include the directory name in the output or not.  I'd actually
think not, because it should be trivial to prepend if you want.
