Obviously if you want to distinguish visually for the user, or to do it

For me it made more sense to change the exit value to 1. That way the value
is the number of layers you want *including* the directory you specify. So:
put directoryListing("/Users/gcanyon/Desktop",1)
-- puts /Users/gcanyon/Desktop
That way using either 0 or empty gets the infinite list.

Sounds like just the fact that you don't have the scrollbar I used to

If you have already put a directory listing in
a field and want to click a line to get the list
of that line you can put this code in the field.
on mouseUp
put word 2 of the clickline into tLine
put line tLine of target into whatFolder
put directoryListing(whatFolder,2) --into fld id 3424
I was not able to get the mouseUp handler to
work but I got the function to return a list but it
probably not the same list. I used this.

Geoff,
I would suggest replacing the first statement of the function with
if c is empty then put -1 into c-- set the default to go all the way
down
put whatFolder & "/" & cr into R -- add a "/" to directory output so
they are more easily parsed later

I'm not sure about cursor setting - you might put in a counter, and set

What if we want only folder paths ?

could have TRUE/False values on input, and then say somethin
I have been testing it out and it is working good

Thanks for all your comments.
Richard was right, my recursion limit error was caused by the fact that the
directory could not be set.
It was, like Alex assumed, a strange character in a folder. After i changed
that folder name in my “sample” harddrive i was able to import the drive.
In future
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Alex.

Are you sure you are actually hitting a recursion limit ?
Another (perhaps more likely) problem is that you are hitting a
protected directory, or one which you cannot access (e.g. because of
strange character in name).
I would (at a minimum) put in a check that you have moved to the folder:
