[REBOL] Re: Recursive directory read/delete

Hi Andrew,
Looks good. One point.
My experience has been that when using the dir? function on an FTP target it
will access the target causing a network read each time you use it - which
is entirely reasonable because it represents the question "is this a
directory?".
In my code I posted earlier, I use something like this test instead:
dirized?: func [f][equal? f dirize f]
The reason I do so, is that having got the results of READ on a directory -
rebol has told me which are directories - they are the ones with the / at
the end. Well, it seems to work... :)
Thus saving heaps of network activity.
