st: Case Sensitive filenames and filepaths

[Sean Williams <sean@socialscience.net>]

Dear Statalisters,

I apologize if this is an obvious question, but does anyone know a way 
to return a list of files or directories that preserves case?  Something 
like:
--local filelist : dir "C:\files" files ".txt"--
will fill the macro filelist with the .txt files in "C:\files", but the 
file names in the macro are all lowercased, whereas the file names in 
"C:\files" have some capital letters.

I ask because I need to create a running list of text files, but I have 
no control over what they are named.  I'm still using version 9.2 
(unfortunately).

Many thanks,
Sean
