starting with
multiple-F are not implemented here.

I hope that I have understood you correctly. If so the following snippet
shoud show you a solution for your problem. It works with 4 sub
routines, 3 of them used internally only, for an intermediate step to
process the name of the target directory. This routines use
call-by-reference method for returning results like PASCAL.
