[Ham-Computers] Still looking for way to Index files

[Philip Atchley]

Hello
I'm still looking for a way to obtain and index the filenames of all the
files in a folder and all of it's subfolders in the Win98SE operating
system.  I would like to maintain these lists in a document that I could
print out.  I have 602TAB, an MS Excel "lookalike", is there a way to do
what I want under a spreadsheet program?  I'm very "Spreadsheet ingnorant",
I can open and modify  one and that's about it.

Thank you
