This XCMD will create a TEXT file consisting of all the TEXT files inside a folder.
You will be presented with a dialog box asking you to choose a folder where the XCMD can find the files to be combined. It will find all the TEXT files in the folder, as well as all TEXT files in all folders within the folder, and so on down the directory tree.
Then you'll be asked for the destination file. Next the XCMD does the copying, and it's done.

Syntax:
CombineFiles [creator][,integer]
CombineFiles accepts two optional parameters. The first is a creator ID for your destination TEXT file. For instance, "MSWD" is Microsoft Word, "MACA" is MacWrite, "EDIT" is Edit, etc. If you don't pass a creator ID parameter, it will assume "MSWD".
The second parameter should be an integer. If the integer is nonzero, the XCMD will add a line separating each file, identifying which file is about to follow. If the integer is zero, no additional information will be put in the destination file.
Examples:
CombineFiles "MACA",1 -- will make file for MacWrite, has file info
CombineFiles -- will make file for MS-Word, with no file info
CombineFiles "EDIT",0 -- will make file for Edit, has no file info
