I have vastly enjoyed programming with my HP48, and have been
aided immensely by the posts from this newsgroup. To start
what I hope will be the first of many contributing posts I
hope to make, here is a brief program to traverse the directories
in your HP48.

As written, it does nothing. However, I have indicated that point
to modify to slip in the action you wish to occur at each
directory (such as purge all system created variables, add variables
you want in each directory, accumulate a system wide listing, etc).

Also, as written, it scans all directories from the current one on
down. Comments point out where to add a HOME command to make the
program always start at the HOME directory and scan down from there.

This program calls itself recursively, so must reside in the HOME
directory, with the same that it calls itself in the code, which
is TRAVERSE. If you change the name, also change the name in the
code.

%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);
@ Store as 'TRAVERSE' in the HOME directory
@ BYTES returns 1: 6E96h  2: 157.5
@
@ TRAVERSE is a directory traversal program
@ It must be stored in the HOME directory as it calls itself
@ recursively while visiting all RAM directories.
